Does groundwater contian water vapor?

If the groundwater is boiling, then yes. Otherwise, probably not. (The bubbles in boiling water are made of liquid water that has rapidly evaporated into water vapor gas.)


What do you think is inside the bubbles that form when the water boils?

Water vapor (steam) is inside the bubbles that form inside boiling water. The bubbles that form prior to boiling are mostly dissolved gases escaping from the water.


How do bubbles form in boiling water?

When water boils, the heat converts some of the water to steam and each bubble is a steam bubble. Steam is a gas that is lighter than water, and so the bubbles rise to the surface of the water where the steam is released. As the steam cools in the air, it forms water vapor, and that is what we see. Most people call the vapor "steam", but steam is a transparent gas, like air.

Do the bubbles in a pot of boiling water for noodles indicate chemical change?

No. That is a physical change of the liquid water turning to gas (steam)


Why small bubbles are formed on water before it boils?

Boiling is not as fine a process as it might seem. Evaporation increases gradually until boiling is reached. Boiling occurs when there is sufficient heat to immediately turn the water to its gaseous state. The bubbles you see forming at the bottom of a pot for example are water vapor having been boiled to gas and tend to form at the bottom because that is where it is hotter- near the heating source. You'll see steam coming off of heated water but the bubbles that are forming during boiling are water being turned to gas. Essentially the bubbles are a less intense form of boiling. As you get hotter water the bubbles will form more rapidly and will "boil" as you're more familiar with it.
