What must happen to water in the liquid phases for it to become water in the gaseous phase?

The hydrogen bonds between Hydrogens of one water molecule and the oxygen of another water molecule must break. These are not actual bonds but they are interactions of the dipole moments produced by the difference in electronegativity between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a single water molecule.
When enough heat or drop in pressure is produced the molecules will dissociate from one another and enter a vapor phase.

Equilibrium constant for water Kw?
At a constant 100 C and 1 ATM ambient pressure, I believe it should be 1 as the gaseous and liquid phases would be equally favored. This is due to the fact that the vapor pressure of liquid water at 100 C is 1 ATM.
What phases are in equilibrium at a substance's melting point?
Evaporating and condensing
Is water changing to water vapour a reversible or irreversible change?
It is reversible . Water vapour can condense and become liquid. Evaporation and condensation are phases in the water cycle
Matter comes in many phases. What are they?
sold liquid and gas
What are the states or phases of bromine?
Bromine is a liquid at room temperature
Can ice and boiling water exist at same temperature?
Yes. In fact, there is a specific combination of pressure and temperature where the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases can co-exist. Do some reading on "triple point".Yes.

What does phase mean in chemistry?
a mechanically separate, homogeneous part of a heterogeneous system or the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of a system.
Is vapor included in the phases of matter?
Yes, Vapor is a phase of matter between liquid and plasma. It is generally referred to as the gaseous phase.
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure conditions at which?
... the substance can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases all at the same time.
What is a phase in science term?
Phases are defined as distinct periods or changes during the development of a person or animal. Phases are also defined as carrying something out in stages.
How does density vary for a component at its critical point?
For a pure component the density difference between a liquid and gas approaches zero as the critical point is approached. By definition liquid and gaseous phases are indistinguishable (meaning no difference) at the critical point.
Why is there one phase in every solution?
There is at least one phase in every solution because the solute has been completely dissolved into solution. If there is still remaining solute, then the solution has two phases, one in which the solute is completely dissolved and the other phase having undissolved solute.
Compare the densities of the soiled liquid and gaseous states of an substance?
As a rule of thumb ... which is not true in all cases ... the solid and liquid states will have similar densities with the liquid being the less dense of the two, and the density of the gas will be much lower.Near the critical point the density of the liquid and gas phases will be nearly identical.
What are the liquid phases?
solid liquid and gas
Is oxygen an example of a phase?
Oxygen is an example of one of the four phases of matter, it being of a gaseous phase. Phase is simply another term for 'state.' Liquid, Solid and Plasma being the others.
What is the phases of Mercury?
Mercury is a liquid. It can be found in thermometers.
What is a list of the phases of water in order?
Water has 3 phases. These phases include steam, liquid and ice. Ice is the most dense, followed by liquid and then steam.
