It is NOT a chemical reaction. Boiling is a physical reaction. When heat is applied to water in a pot, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules begin to get excited; they bounce around everywhere. The heat traps the oxygen molecules in bubbles, which go to the sides of the pot (following the path of least resistance). These bubbles then come to the surface, releasing oxygen and steam. Boiling is simply a phase change from a liquid to a gas.
What else can I help you with?
Can chemical energy boil water?
yes, that's what you do when you use gas or wood to boil water
When you boil something what happens?
A chemical change occurs when you boil something. Also, evaporation can occur when it gets hot enough.
Is coal being burned to boil water an example of chemical energy changing to thermal?
Yes, when coal is burned to boil water, the chemical energy stored in coal is converted into thermal energy (heat) during combustion. The heat is then used to boil water, which produces steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity.
When you boil water are you causing a chemical or physical change?
it's a physical change!
What chemical changes happen to water at 98 degrees celsius?

What is the main chemical that dahmer used in soilex to boil off flesh?
Hydrogen peroxide was the main chemical that Dahmer used in Soilex to help accelerate the decomposition process and boil off flesh from body parts.
If you boil ethyl alcohol does the chemical structure change?
No. The chemical structure of ethyl alcohol gas is the same as ethyl alcohol liquid.
What energy transformation occurs when you use a hot plate to boil a liquid?
Electrical to thermal
Can you boil aspirin into pure opium?
Of course not! There is no relationship between the two chemical compounds.
Why do different liquids boil at different temperatures?
These liquids have different chemical composition and structure.
Is something that burns easily a physical or chemical change?
If you burn something it is a chemical change, however if you melt of boil it, it is a physical change.
