Question No.  1458 :
What makes water boil? How does water boil?

Answer 1 :

Water will start boiling when the kinetic energy (motion energy) of the water molecules is great enough to enable them to break away from each other. The water molecules will then leave the bulk of water and exist in gaseous state.



Answer 2 :

Change of state. As the water is heated, the molecules goes into more and more energetic random motion.
