Remember, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object as a result of their random motions.(1 point)

When liquid water boils to become steam at 100 degrees Celsius, the particles of water have reached a energy state where they possess enough average kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid state. At this temperature, the average kinetic energy of the water molecules is high enough that they can transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. This means that while the temperature remains constant at 100 degrees Celsius during the boiling process, the kinetic energy of the individual molecules increases as they transition to steam, indicating that they have more energy and are moving more rapidly compared to when they were in liquid form.
