Chemical changes, or reactions, result in the formation of new substances when bonds are. formed and/or broken. Some relatively simple but common types of chemical reactions are. illustrated in this experiment. Examples and descriptions of each type appear below.
Water boils when it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water at a high altitude (for example, in a town in the mountains) doesnât have to get as hot in order to boil. In fact, water doesnât have to boil in order to turn from a liquid to a gas! For example, water at the surface of a lake can evaporate, or change to water vapor when heated by the sun!

Boiling water in a sealed cooking pot. Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. The higher the pressure the higher the boiling point. There are two main types of boiling; nucleate boiling where small bubbles of vapour form at discrete points, and critical heat flux boiling where the boiling surface is heated above a certain critical te
