Boiling   The process a substance changes from its liquid phase to its to its gas phase.  
🗑
Boiling point   The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to normal atmospheric pressure.  
🗑
Boiling-point elevation   When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the boiling point of the solution will be higher than that of the pure solvent.  
🗑
Bond energy   The energy required to break a bond  
🗑
