1. On heating, the atoms/molecules in liquid gain kinetic energy and temperature of the liquid increases.

2. If liquid is continued to heat further, at the boiling point, the constituents overcome the interatomic/molecular forces.

3. The mean distance between the constituents increases so that the particles are farther apart.

4. At boiling point, the liquid gets converted into gaseous state.
