| Mar 14, 2016 at 10:56 | comment | added | Luaan | @Erbureth The link points to a different kind of superheating than what your comment suggests - it talks about heating under pressure, which is entirely different from superheating due to a lack of nucleation sites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleation would be a better link. | |

| Mar 9, 2016 at 12:45 | comment | added | Mert Karakaya | @Konerak after some potential energy threshold is surpassed, molecular bonds cannot keep them together due to the increase in kinetic energy of individual molecules. Thus they start separating and phase change occurs. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 12:29 | comment | added | Konerak | Yes, but why? Why can't you just boil water to extreme high temperatures without it becoming vapor? Why must it become steam? | |
