Pls 🙏 for the Differences btw Drying and dehydration

Drying is the process of removing liquid water from a substance, typically through evaporation. This usually leaves some residual moisture behind. Think of air-drying clothes or drying your hands on a towel. The goal is to make something less wet.

Dehydration, on the other hand, is the removal of water from a substance at a molecular level, often by breaking chemical bonds or removing water of crystallization. This results in a much drier product, often to preserve it or concentrate its components. Examples include freeze-drying food or the chemical dehydration of alcohols to form alkenes. The goal is to remove chemically bound water or achieve a very low moisture content.
