When you first start to boil water, the bubbles that you see are basically air bubbles. Technically, these are bubbles formed from the dissolved gases that come out of the solution, so if the water is in a different atmosphere, the bubbles would consist of those gases. Under normal conditions, the first bubbles are mostly nitrogen with oxygen and a bit of argon and carbon dioxide.

As you continue heating the water, the molecules gain enough energy to transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. These bubbles are water vapor. When you see water at a "rolling boil," the bubbles are entirely water vapor. Water vapor bubbles start to form on nucleation sites, which are often tiny air bubbles, so as water starts to boil, the bubbles consist of a mixture of air and water vapor.

Bubble on surface liquid?

A bubble on the surface of a liquid is formed when air or another gas is trapped within the liquid, typically due to agitation. The surface tension of the liquid creates a thin film around the gas, producing the bubble shape. As the gas inside the bubble expands or contracts, the size of the bubble may change.

Why dos the soap bubble float on the co2 gas?

A soap bubble floats on CO2 gas because the gas is denser than air, providing buoyancy that supports the light weight of the bubble. The CO2 gas also lacks water molecules, which prevents the soap film from burst.
