The boiling point of a liquid at 1 atm pressure

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to cook pasta, and you need to wait for the water to boil on a stove. Just like waiting for the water to reach its boiling point so you can add the pasta, the normal boiling point of a liquid is the specific temperature at which the liquid starts to boil under a standard pressure of 1 atmosphere. In this analogy, the stove's heat represents the energy needed to break the bonds holding the water molecules together, and the standard atmospheric pressure is like the consistent environment of your kitchen, ensuring the water boils at a predictable temperature.
