The boiling point of a liquid occurs...?
Answer:
When the liquid begins its transition to the gas phase of matter.
when the vapor pressure equals the pressure of the vessel or atmospheric pressure depending on the system.
boiling point is reached when the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the vapour pressure of the surrounding.
