They are opposites. Boiling turns a liquid into a gas, and condensation turns a gas into a liquid.

Boiling is the process where a liquid turns into vapor by absorbing heat, typically occurring at the boiling point. Condensation is the opposite process where vapor turns into a liquid by releasing heat, happening when the vapor cools below its saturation point. Boiling requires input of energy, while condensation releases energy.
Melting and freezing occur at the same temperature because they involve the same phase change between solid and liquid states. In contrast, boiling and condensation involve different phase changes between liquid and gas states, resulting in different temperatures due to the energy differences required to break intermolecular bonds and change states.
"Condensation boiling" is not a recognized scientific term. Condensation typically refers to the phase change of a gas to a liquid, whereas boiling refers to the phase change of a liquid to a gas. If you are referring to a specific concept or process, please provide more information.
Condensation is the change of state from gas to liquid, while boiling is the change of state from liquid to gas. Condensation occurs when a gas loses energy and cools down, causing its particles to come together and form a liquid. Boiling, on the other hand, requires the addition of heat to a liquid to break the intermolecular forces holding the liquid together, allowing it to change into a gas.
Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a vapor at temperatures below its boiling point, while distillation is the process of separating components of a liquid mixture based on differences in boiling points. Distillation involves collecting and condensing vapor back into liquid form, whereas evaporation does not necessarily involve the collection of the vapor.
Knowing the boiling points of the liquids is important during fractional distillation because the process relies on differences in boiling points to separate the components. By knowing the boiling points, the distillation can be conducted at the appropriate temperature to ensure efficient separation of the components based on their boiling point differences.
