Whe you boil water, molecules of water "escape" into the atmosphere. The molecular structure of water is unaffected by boiling.
When matter is heated the molecules move faster and the speed becomes so great the molecules cannot hold together. The molecules fly apart and become a gas.
kinetic energy
The water molecules remain unchanged.
Also water molecules, in the gaseous phase.
It boils and becomes steam.
I'm trying to look that up too!! I wonder what happens, I'm gonna do that for my science project but my question is a tiny bit different it's: When water boils, what happens to molecules (for example sugar or salt) that are dissolved in the water? Do they boil off too, or do they stay behind?
Steam is water molecules in vapor form
Assuming they are non-volatile, solids in liquid water will remain in the water when it boils. This is the process of distillation, where the solids and non-volatile matter is separated from the water, and is left behind as the water evaporates off.

IT BOILS, what kind of question is this?
The oxygen atoms left behind from the water molecules join into diatomic oxygen molecules.
The water becomes a gas.
The water molecules evaporate and leave the salts and impurities behind as a solid.
The atoms speed up building up kenetic energy which forces them apart and that is what turns the liquid into a gas
