Technically, the 2nd pair should probably be "vaporizing -
condensing", with evaporation and boiling being specific
instances of vaporizing. Evaporation = vaporization at the

of a liquid, is the way the E & B words are usually used,
n'est-ce pas?

This raises an interesting question in my mind. I guess I
associated the word "vaporize" with the words "liquefy" and
"solidify". Is this different from the usage above?
