Vapor
Vapor or vapour (see
spelling differences) is the
gas phase component of another state of matter (e.g. liquid or solid) which does not completely fill its container. It is distinguished from the pure
gas phase by the presence of the same substance in another state of matter. Hence when a liquid has completely evaporated, it is said that the system has been completely transformed to the gas phase.
