If you are asking for the definition of a boiling point then we can help.

Explanation:

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the ambient pressure, and bubbles of vapour (= gas) form directly in the liquid.

The normal boiling point is specified when the ambient pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere, and thus the vapour pressure of the liquid equals 1 atmosphere at the normal boiling point.
