When liquid water becomes a gas, the correct response is:
**The molecules will have more kinetic energy because they will be moving faster.**
As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, causing them to move faster. This increased movement eventually allows the molecules to overcome the attractive forces holding them together in the liquid state, enabling the transition to the gaseous state (water vapor).
