Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm). At this temperature, liquid water transitions to steam, which is its gaseous form. This process is called boiling and occurs when the vapor pressure of the water equals the atmospheric pressure. When water reaches its boiling point, it does not increase in temperature until all the water has turned to steam (assuming the pressure remains constant). This phase change absorbs energy in the form of heat, which is used to break the intermolecular bonds between water molecules.
