whereas gas is a substance which has not, and will not
experiece a phase change.

Answer / hemant patel
The word vapor in its natural state is a solid or liquid at
room temperature. However, a gas in its natural state at
room temperature would still be a gas. Example: 1) steam
would be a vapor because at room temperature, it would be
water, which is a liquid. 2) Nitrogen (a gas) at room
temperature would still be in a gaseous state.
Yes, there is a difference.
To make it more simple, a vapor is a substance which has
experienced a phase change. Whereas, a gas is a substance
which has not, and will not experience a phase change.
Vapour is a Substance which is near the condensation

In other word:
gas is something that u cannot make it to liquid Only by
increasing the pressure on it!! U have to decrease the
tempreture aswel, otherwise it wouldnt turn into liquid!

Answer / prabu.r
1. A gas has one defined state at room temperature whereas a vapour is a substance that is in gaseous and liquid equilibrium at room temperature, at a given pressure. A gas can also refer to a single element of matter with its own unique physical and chemical properties, for example oxygen, nitrogen and neon.
2. Because vapour is actually the gaseous state of an element, vapour particles will be of a single element and may have a definite shape whereas gas particles when observed under microscopic view do not have a definite shape and will be a collection of atoms, ions, electrons and molecules. However both gas and vapour particles are in a random motion, colliding with each other or the walls of the containing vessel when observed under a microscope.

Answer / agnel martin
A substance which under ordinary condition is a solid or liquid but under specific condition is gaseous is called vapour.
When a substance exist in the gaseous state under ordinary conditions,it is called a gas.
