As a substance reaches its boiling point it changes from a liquid to a gas. As this happens the bonds that are holding the molecules together break allowing the molecules to wander off on their own as a gas. 6. As a substance reaches its freezing point it turns from a liquid to a solid.
When a liquid is heated, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy. If the temperature becomes sufficiently high, the liquid becomes a gas, or it may react with chemicals in the environment. Water is an example of a liquid that becomes gaseous when it is heated gradually.
