I love this chemistry about water
Nice topic!

Thank you for your kind words. The best example to try to talk about vapor pressure is the example of the glass of water. In fact, the explanation of vapor pressure can be summarized as follows: Imagine having a closed container with some water inside.
Some molecules of the liquid evaporate and become vapor, but at the same time, some vapor molecules return to the liquid (condense).
When the number of molecules that evaporate is equal to those that condense, equilibrium is reached. Here we come to explain vapor pressure, in fact now we can say that the pressure exerted by that vapor in equilibrium is called vapor pressure.
