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.

Why is it incorrect to say that air bubbles form in boiling water?
Because it just does
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.
What signs for boiling water?
Bubbles of water vapor
Will air bubbles appear if boiled water is reheated?
The bubbles are water vapour (ie steam) bubbles, not air. Therefore any heating of water back up to boiling point will renew the process of water vapour bubbles occurring.
Why do vapor bubbles rise to surface when a liquid is boiling?
Since the bubbles have less density than the surrounding water, gravity pulls the water down, and the bubbles go up.
What is in the bubbles you see when water is boiling?
What you mostly see in the bubbles is steam, which is water in gas form.
What is inside the bubbles of boil water Where they come from?
Dissolved air bubbles out of the water, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapour starts to form inside the liquid in the form of bubbles
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.
What are the bubbles in boiling water made of?
the bubbles in boiling water is water in a gasious state rising to the surface.
Why is it incorrect to say that air bubbles form in boiling water?
Because it just does
Where do the bubbles in boiling water come from?
The gas being evaporated forms the bubbles in boiling water.
Is the composition of bubbles in boiling water the same as the bubbles that appear when cold water heats up?
They are the same. When cold water heats up and bubbles that means it is boiling.

What compound is inside bubbles of boiling water?
These bubbles contain air.

What is in the bubbles that you see when water is boiling?
If there are big bubbles that pop then it is boiled
Is the boiling bubbles in water only generated when it hits the boiling point?
no
