Question

in one to two sentences, explain a similarity and a difference between the particles in liquid water at 100 degrees C and the particles in steam at 100 degrees C

Answer 1

A similarity between the particles in liquid water at 100 degrees C and those in steam at the same temperature is that both consist of H2O molecules. A difference is that in liquid water, the particles are closely packed and have stronger intermolecular attractions, while in steam, the particles are more spread out and move freely, indicating a gaseous state.
