The atoms speed up building up kenetic energy which forces them apart and that is what turns the liquid into a gas

and those molecules just get far away, and they transform into steam

What happens to water when you add heat?
It get hotter and if it is frozen it melts. If it is melted it boils.
What temperature does water boil at in Kelvin?
It boils at 373 degrees kelvin. Kelvin is just Celsius plus 273. Water boils at 100C, 100+273=373, so 373K.
What happens to a liquid when its heated?
Expands and then vapourises. If in an enclosed space, will cause increased pressure and became dangerous with respect to leaks and possible explosion.
When you forget to turn of a teakettle why is the water gone?
The water boils away.
Why do some liquid water molecules evaporate into a gas?
Molecules of water can become gaseous wherever they are exposed to the atmosphere, as some molecules may have enough energy to leave the surface. Water vapor molecules can likewise return to the liquid state. But the rate of each phase change is dependent on the temperature.Water is stable at temperatures between 32 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit, at which temperatures water respectively freezes and boils. We are more concerned here with temperatures at which water boils, or at least turns gaseous.Basic Chemistry:All molecules are made up of atoms in different combinations. All atoms 'vibrate' at different speeds depending upon their temperature (and other factors we needn't go into here). The hotter the temperature, the faster the atoms vibrate. At 212 F, the bonds holding the water molecules together become unstable and the molecules separate.Just a small note here. Most people think what they see over boiling water is steam, it is not. It is water vapor, water molecules that have not quite reached temperature sufficient to break the bonds.(A more complete answer explaining the vaporization mechanism can be found at the related question titled "What happens to water molecules when water is heated?".)
What happens to the bowl of water when it boils?
The water becomes a gas.
What happens to water at 212 degrees Fahrenheit?
It boils

What happens when you boil Nestle pure life water?
It boils and becomes steam.
What happens at 212 degrees?
At 212 oF, water boils at 1 atm of pressure.
What happens at 100 percent celsius?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
What happens to water when it boils?
it gets hot
What happens when the water boils?
The water goes from the liquid state to the gas state. H2O(l) -> H2O(g)
