I know that temperature is given by the movement of the atoms in a substance. But why exactly it happens to form bubbles at the boiling point, which are wandering from the bottom to the top e.g in a pan? If they are made of oxygen , isn’t it at some time depleted? Shouldn’t the water then stop boiling?
In: Chemistry
The bottom of the pan is the hottest place, so the water at the bottom is hottest (and then rises). When it’s hot enough, the water transitions to a gas state – water vapor. Which, as a bubble, rises to the top of your pot.
