When fresh water reaches a temperature of 212 degrees, the water molecules enter a highly agitated state, causing them to vibrate and fly around very fast. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move. Eventually, when the water is at 212 degrees, the molecules are moving fast enough to actually throw themselves out of the minor bonds that held them together originally, casting them out of the liquid to enter the air as a gas.

FranFresh water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level due to the atmospheric pressure pressing down on the surface of the water. As the water is heated, it gains energy until it reaches a point where the energy is enough to overcome the atmospheric pressure and transition into a gas state.
