How do bubbles form in boiling water?

When water boils, the heat converts some of the water to steam and each bubble is a steam bubble. Steam is a gas that is lighter than water, and so the bubbles rise to the surface of the water where the steam is released. As the steam cools in the air, it forms water vapor, and that is what we see. Most people call the vapor "steam", but steam is a transparent gas, like air.


Why small bubbles are formed on water before it boils?

Boiling is not as fine a process as it might seem. Evaporation increases gradually until boiling is reached. Boiling occurs when there is sufficient heat to immediately turn the water to its gaseous state. The bubbles you see forming at the bottom of a pot for example are water vapor having been boiled to gas and tend to form at the bottom because that is where it is hotter- near the heating source. You'll see steam coming off of heated water but the bubbles that are forming during boiling are water being turned to gas. Essentially the bubbles are a less intense form of boiling. As you get hotter water the bubbles will form more rapidly and will "boil" as you're more familiar with it.


Do the bubbles in a pot of boiling water for noodles indicate chemical change?

No. That is a physical change of the liquid water turning to gas (steam)


What liquid turns into a gas and how?

all liquids turn into a gas (including liquid metals but only at very high temperatures) A liquid changes into a gas when heat completely breaks the bonds between the particles. When heat is added to a liquid, small bubbles of gas soon begin to form within the liquid. When enough heat is added, these gas bubbles become large enough to float to the surface and boiling occurs. When a liquid boils, bubbles of gas escape into the air. This is known as vaporisation.


What is the change of state from the liquid to a gas while gas bubles form from liquid?

The process is evaporation
