Boiling occurs when the intermolecular forces holding a substance in the liquid state become overwhelmed and allow the particles to separate into the gaseous state. Particles in the gaseous state are roughly 2000 times farther apart than in the liquid state, which causes expansion of the substance in its gaseous form.
