Which option describes the particles of water as the liquid water actively boils?

(1 point)

The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling.

The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling

The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during toling

The particles wild lose kinetic energy and increase temperature during boiling

1 answer

The correct option is:

The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling.

During boiling, while water particles gain enough energy to transition from liquid to gas, they maintain the same average kinetic energy at a given temperature until the boiling process is complete. When boiling occurs, the temperature remains constant despite the addition of heat, as the energy is used for changing the state rather than increasing the temperature.
