  1. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid [1] [2] and the liquid changes into a vapor. The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure.

  2. boiling point, temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.

    In both boiling and evaporation, a liquid transitions into a vapor. The difference is that all of the liquid starts changing into a vapor at the boiling point. The bubbles you seeforming within a boiling liquid are this vapor. In evaporation, in contrast, only liquid molecules at the surface escape as vapor. This is because there isn’t enough liqui...

    The boiling point is not a constant value for a substance. The main factor it depends on is pressure. For example, you see high-altitude cooking directions on recipes because water boils at a lower temperature at a higher altitude, where atmospheric pressure is lower. If you drop the pressure to a partial vacuum, water boils at room temperature. An...

    The two main types of boiling points are the normal boiling point and the standard boiling point. The normal boiling point or the atmospheric boiling point is the boiling point at 1 atmosphere of pressure or sea level. The standard boiling point, as defined by the IUPAC in 1982, is the temperature at which boiling occurs when the pressure is 1 bar....

    This periodic table shows the normal boiling point values of the chemical elements. Heliumis the element with the lowest boiling point (4.222 K, −268.928 °C, ​−452.070 °F). Rhenium (5903 K, 5630 °C, ​10,170 °F) and tungsten (6203 K, 5930 °C, ​10706 °F) have extremely high boiling points. The exact conditions determine which of these two elements ha...
