Boiling water can be either thermal energy or kinetic energy dependent upon how it's used. If it is used to heat up another object (thereby transferring energy in that manner) it is thermal; if the water vapor from the boiled water is used to say, run a turbine, it would be kinetic in that sense.
Chances are, for most cases involving boiling water, or more specifically the water vapor produced by it, the energy associated with that will be kinetic.

Is boiling water a chemical or physical process?
Water boiling is a physical change and not a chemical reaction. In a physical reaction there is no new substance formed as is the case with chemical reactions. In boiling water there is no new substance produced.
Energy flows from a Bunsen burner flame to the water because there there is a?
Energy flows from the Bunsen burner because heat is given off, creating a chemical reaction between the water and flame. This causes the water to heat up until the flame reaches 100 degrees and then the water boils (this is the waters boiling point).
When water is boiled which element is destroyed?
According to the Law of Conservation of Matter/Energy, a chemical reaction (like boiling water) does not destroy anything.
Is boiling water an example of a chemical change?
No.
Is cold water heating up to its boiling point a chemical change?
cold water heating up to its boiling point a physical change or a chemical change
Why does corn on the cob spin in boiling water?
heat produces energy which causes the corn to spin in boiling water.
What form of energy causes noodles to cook in boiling water?
Heat

Is boiling water mechanicl or heat or light or chemical or electrical or nuclear energy?
Boiling of water is caused when we provide heat energy to water which then converts into mechanical energy when the water molecules gets excited and results in escaping the surface forming vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure leading to boiling.

Why is the boiling of water a physical reaction and not a chemical reaction?
During boiling the chemical composition is not changed.
What is non example of light energy?

What energy transfer is boiling water?
heat
Does boiling water have a chemical change if so why?
No.
Is boiling water an example of a chemical change?
No.
Is water boiling sugar dissolving or nails rusting a chemical reaction?
Water boiling is a physical process; also dissolving. Rusting is a chemical process (oxidation).
