Answer
When a liquid is heated the average kinetic energy of the liquid molecules increases. When the molecules acquire sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the force of attraction of other molecules, they escape out in form of vapour throughout the mass of liquid. As a result, bubbles are formed. These bubbles move to the surface and boiling of liquid takes place.
