Question

Boiling occurs only on the surface of the liquid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Boiling is a special case of evaporation. It is the rapid conversion of a liquid into vapour by means of formation of bubbles. During boiling, vaporization is not restricted to the surface only but takes place throughout the bulk of the liquid. It involves the formation of bubbles even below the surface within the bulk of the liquid.
