(N/A) Vaporization is the phase transition of a substance from the liquid state to the gaseous or vapor state. It occurs when molecules in a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together,allowing them to escape into the surrounding space as gas.
The normal boiling point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the standard atmospheric pressure,which is $1.013 \times 10^5 \ Pa$ or $1 \ atm$.
