How does temperature affect the state of matter?

Back

Increasing temperature generally increases kinetic energy, leading to phase changes such as melting and evaporation.

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Back

Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid at any temperature, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid at a specific temperature.
