The temperature at which a liquid begins to boil at atmospheric pressure is called its boiling point.
At a certain temperature, particles have enough energy to break free from the forces of attraction, causing the liquid to change into a gas.
When heat energy is supplied to water, particles begin to move faster.
Particles in water at 0°C have more energy compared to particles in ice at the same temperature because the water particles are in the liquid state, while the ice particles are in the solid state.
