Boiling point

Summary: Boiling happens if enough Energy is transferred (moved) to the particles. The particles in some substances hold together more strongly than in other substances. This means that different substances need different amounts of energy to boil. Therefore, different substances boil at different temperatures. The temperature a substance boils at is its boiling point. Tags: science student-book-7 chemistry Created: 2026-05-21 Last Updated: 2026-05-21
