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.
