Boiling is the transition of matter from liquid to gas. A liquid boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure on the liquid (usually atmospheric pressure). Boiling results in bubbles forming at nucleation sites and rising to the surface of the liquid. Eventually, the liquid will completely transition to the vapor phase.
