[2] An aerosol is a suspension of tiny particles of liquid, solid, or both within a gas.
Vapor is responsible for the familiar processes of cloud formation and condensation.
It is commonly employed to carry out the physical processes of distillation and headspace extraction from a liquid sample prior to gas chromatography.
The constituent molecules of a vapor possess vibrational, rotational, and translational motion.
Also, vapors obey the barometric formula in a gravitational field, just as conventional atmospheric gases do.
