Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -At sea level, water boils at 100° C (212° F).
Detailed explanation-2: -It seems like one of those basic science facts: Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), right?
Detailed explanation-3: -The temperature when water will begin to boil is around 212 degrees Fahrenheit/100 degrees Celsius. This is called the boiling point.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules. Large amount of energy is required to break this hydrogen bonding. Hence water molecules will have high boiling point.
