Boiling is when a liquid is changing to a gas because it has gained enough energy, usually through heat, to overcome the pressure pushing on the liquid and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid.

What happens to the particles of a gas when if condense to a liquid?

Think what happens if youplace a glass lid over a pan of boiling water. You will see liquid form on the underside of the lid. Instead of escaping from the closed pan, the water vapor formed from boiling hits the cooler lid and forms liquid drops through condensation. Energy is transferred as heat from gas particles to the lid. The gas particles no longer have enough energy to overcome the attractive forces between them, so they go into the liquid state.
