When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and begin to move faster. Eventually, they have enough energy to overcome the attractions that hold them together and they begin to move independently of one another. When this happens, the water is said to be boiling.\n\n

The boiling point is the temperature at which the molecules have enough energy to overcome the attractions that hold them together. The attractions are the intermolecular forces, which are the attractive forces between molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.\n\n

Water has strong intermolecular forces because of the way the molecules are arranged. The oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges. The charges attract each other, and the water molecules are held together.\n\n

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, the water molecules have enough energy to overcome the attractions that hold them together. <\/p>\n \n
