If the vapour pressure of a component is bigger than the system pressure, does it means it will fully in vapour phase and no liquid phase are formed??

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that when the vapor pressure of a component exceeds the system pressure, the component will exist entirely in the vapor phase, and no liquid phase will be present. If a liquid phase already exists, it will begin to boil away. The critical point occurs when the partial pressure of a component equals its vapor pressure, at which point any additional mass must be in the vapor phase, eliminating the possibility of a liquid phase.
