Overview
In chemistry, a vapor is the gaseous form of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid at ordinary temperatures and pressures. Vapors form through processes such as evaporation, boiling, and sublimation, in which molecules gain enough energy to escape into the gas phase, and they can return to the liquid or solid state through condensation or deposition. Because a vapor can coexist with its liquid or solid source, properties such as vapor pressure and the conditions for phase change are central to understanding and controlling it. Vapors are important across the chemical sciences, from the behavior of solvents and volatile compounds to industrial processes that rely on substances in the gas phase. One area where vapors are put to practical use is the deposition of thin films, in which vaporized material is condensed onto a surface to build precisely controlled coatings; research in this field has reviewed thin film deposition and characterization techniques. As a topic in chemistry, vapors connect the study of phase behavior, volatility, and materials processing. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to vapors and the broader field of chemical science.
