Water boils at 100 degrees centigrade. Water molecules in a liquid are always bumping against each other, but the attraction between them is strong enough to keep them held to each other. It is not strong enough to hold them tight like in a solid, but it does keep them together in a liquid. As the temperature rises, the molecules move faster and faster. When the liquid reaches the boiling point, the attraction between the molecules is no longer strong enough to hold them together. A number of them move so fast, they leave the liquid. That is called boiling.

What are the boiling point of metals and non- metals?

Metallic elements generally have higher boiling points compared to non-metallic elements. For example, the boiling points of metals like iron, copper, and aluminum range from 2,800 to 5,200 degrees Celsius. In contrast, non-metals like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon have lower boiling points, typically around -183 to 80 degrees Celsius.
