The process is just called boiling. At the boiling point, the water molecules spread out to form steam. Water vapour can form at any temperature, and that process is evaporation.

What is the process called when in boiling water the molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor?
The process is just called boiling. At the boiling point, the water molecules spread out to form steam. Water vapour can form at any temperature, and that process is evaporation.
What does breaking hydrogen bonds do?
Breaking hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to escape from the liquid by vaporization, either by boiling or by evaporation.
How is evaporation and boiling different?
In both cases, a phase change from liquid to gas occurs.evaporation normally is associated with a slow process where the liquid molecules, usually on or near the surface of the liquid, gain sufficient energy to overcome atmospheric pressure and the intermolecular forces of the liquid and escape as individual molecules of gas.boiling is usually a more rapid process involving the addition of heat to the liquid until the temperature is = to the boiling point of the liquid. At this point, the vapor pressure overcomes atmospheric pressure and intermolecular forces. In this condition, the liquid molecules not only at or near the surface, but also those within the liquid bulk, begin to vaporize. The result is the familiar bubbles of a boiling liquid. The bubbles are, of course, gas bubbles that escape the liquid as they breach the surface.
What is it called when bubbles escape the surface of a heated liquid?
I am not sure but I think its boiling, hope this helped :)
How does boiling water occur?
When water is hot enough, the motion of the individual water molecules is fast enough to overcome the attraction that water molecules have for each other, which results in their escape from the liquid into the gas phase.

What is the difference between the process of boiling and evaporation of water?
Boiling is a greatly expedited form of evaporation. When you heat something to its boiling point, it has enough energy for its molecules to rapidly escape. Evaporation is a much slower action, generally. It is just molecules at the surface gaining enough energy to escape. Both evaporation and boiling are endothermic processes. They will cool what ever the molecules are escaping from.
Process by which water molecules escape into air as water vapor is called?
evaporation (:
The process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor is called?
Evaporation..?
Is vaporization that occurs when particles on the surface of a liquid escape the liquid even when the liquid is below its boiling point?
No; this process is called evaporation.
How Do Liquid Water Molecules Escape Into Gas State?
Evaporation is the process of water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor.
Why does water boil stop boiling and then boil again when instant coffee is added to microwaved water?
When the coffee molecules are poured into the container they block water vapor molecules from escaping. Boiling water turns the water to vapor which then excapes from the top of the container. When there is a coffee in there they actually block the escape of the water vapor or steam. The water boils again when it reaches a certain higher temperature so the water molecules can move fast enough to once again escape the container was steam. This is called Boiling Point Elevation.
What is the process by which water molecules in liquid escape into the air as water vapor?
Evaporation.
What is it called when water molecules in liquid vapor escape into the air as water?
The process is known as evaporation, where water becomes a vapor and rises into the sky.
What happens to the molecules when you boil water do they boils off or stay behind?
Whe you boil water, molecules of water "escape" into the atmosphere. The molecular structure of water is unaffected by boiling.
