Boiling is not as fine a process as it might seem. Evaporation increases gradually until boiling is reached. Boiling occurs when there is sufficient heat to immediately turn the water to its gaseous state. The bubbles you see forming at the bottom of a pot for example are water vapor having been boiled to gas and tend to form at the bottom because that is where it is hotter- near the heating source. You'll see steam coming off of heated water but the bubbles that are forming during boiling are water being turned to gas. Essentially the bubbles are a less intense form of boiling. As you get hotter water the bubbles will form more rapidly and will "boil" as you're more familiar with it.

When a jug boils there are large bubbles in the water What are the bubbles made of?

When water boils the gasses which where absorbed are liberated and they expand as a result of the heat causing bubbles which then rise to the surface upon further heating it would be the water turning to steam that expands into bubbles, that is why the bubbles only form at the point of contact with the heat source. there could be some oxygen in the bubbles but it would be extremely small amounts as the heat does not split the bond between the oxygen and the hydrogen.

What is the purpose of anti bump granules in simple distillation?

The anti-bumbing granules provide many places where bubbles of gas may form as the water boils . The bubbles are small and rise steadily to the surface of the liquid where they burst. Without the granules, fewer but larger bubbles form . they rise and burst with such force that they shake the test tubes which can be very hazardous.

Why small bubble rises slowly?

Small bubbles rise slowly because they have less gas inside them, compared to larger bubbles. The more gas, the faster they rise.

What liquid turns into a gas and how?

all liquids turn into a gas (including liquid metals but only at very high temperatures) A liquid changes into a gas when heat completely breaks the bonds between the particles. When heat is added to a liquid, small bubbles of gas soon begin to form within the liquid. When enough heat is added, these gas bubbles become large enough to float to the surface and boiling occurs. When a liquid boils, bubbles of gas escape into the air. This is known as vaporisation.
