← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a liquid's vapor pressure exceeds ambient pressure?
A)Rapid vaporization via bubble nucleation✓
B)Increased liquid-surface cohesion strength
C)Decreased liquid temperature uniformity
D)Solidification through increased intermolecular forces
💡 Explanation
Boiling occurs because when the vapor pressure exceeds the ambient pressure, the `formation of bubbles` overcomes the pressure preventing vaporization. Therefore, rapid vaporization occurs, creating bubbles, rather than the liquid remaining stable due to surface tension or cooling.
