At the boiling point, molecules begin to move from a liquid to a gaseous state. For individual molecules, this process (evaporation) can occur at temperatures lower than boiling.

*There is still additional energy required (called the heat of enthalpy) and there must be a nucleation point from which the molecules move. Lacking these, water can reach temperatures higher than the boiling point without becoming a gas.

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 evaporates if you leave it boiling for a long time

Does liquid water boils as it turns to ice?

Steam condences into water, water freezes in to ice, ice melts into water, water boils to steam


What happens to particles as a liquid boils?

As the water heats up the pot you're boiling it in, the particles of the water receive more energy. The more energy the particles have, the faster they move and the farther they spread apart. When the water finally reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), its particles spread so far out that they make the transition from a liquid to a gas. Thus, making steam.


What happens to water when it boils?

it gets hot


Does the temperature of a boiling liquid increase as it boils?

No. Take water for example. Water boils at 100 degrees C. When water boils it becomes steam. This steam as soon as it is released is 100 degrees C also. The boiling point for a liquid is the point when it becomes a gas.


Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?

The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL


What happens to particles when a liquid boils?

the particles are given more energy.


What is the state of water at -100 degrees celsius?

Water boils at 100 and turns into a gas (steam)


When heat is added to a liquid what happens?

It turns into a gas.


What Happens to particles when steam condenses?

Actually when steam condenses it is loosing heat. As steam rises it cools and falls back down with gravity. I.E. a steam boiler heat system Boils water to till it turns into a gaseous mixture of water droplets and rises to a radiator to heat. As the radiator absorbs the heat from the steam It condenses and returns to the boiler through the same riser pipe to the boiler.

What is an example of matter that has gone through a physical change only?

A good example of a simple Physical Change occurs in a tea pot. The hot, liquid water boils and goes off as steam. Steam is still water (no chemical change,) but is now a gas.


When steam becomes water what are the particles of matter?

When steam (or "water vapor") becomes water, the particles are condensating or becoming condensation. This is because the particles are cooling down, thereore not moving fast enough to remain a gas; so it becomes a liquid.
