When heating a sample of pure water to the boiling point why doesn't all of the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?

as each molecule of water evaporates it takes heat with it, lowering the temperature of the surrounding water, so it takes time before every molecule evaporates.

What is the boiling and melting point of helium in Fahrenheit?
Helium doesnt have any melting point as it cannot be a solid. Its boiling point is -268.93 °C
Why doesnt sucrose have a boiling listed?
Sucrose will decompose (detoriate) when heated up at a temperature before it reaches melting point temperature.
Why doesnt the water temperature go up after boiling for alomg time?
At 100 oC, liquid water turns into vapor water (steam). The temperature of the water can't go up, because it cannot stay a liquid at any higher temperature. All of the energy from the heat source is consumed in turning the water into steam, and then heating the steam.
What is helium's melting or boiling point?
Helium doesnt have a melting point as it will never form solid.
Why Boiling water can be used to disinfect but not to sterilize?
Certain bacteria such as thermophiles and hyperthermophiles are capable of surviving and thriving in high temperatures, especially those beneath 100C (the temperature water boils at). Thus, boiling instruments would not be sterile as certain microorganisms would still be present.
Why doesnt the all the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?
The boiling point is the temperature where a substance BEGINS to vaporize. So all of the water doesn't necessarily need to boil off instantly. To vaporize, molecules of water need to have energy. Only at the boiling point do they have enough energy to boil away, and when they do, they carry this energy with them. This means that a constant supply of heat for a certain period of time is needed for all water in a sample to boil off.
When liquid is boiling its temp doesnt change?
At the boiling point the temperature remain unchanged.
