Which option describes the particles of water as the liquid water actively boils? (1 point) Responses 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 the same temperature during boiling. The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling. The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling. The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling. The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling. The particles will 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 the temperature of the liquid remains constant, the particles have sufficient energy to break intermolecular bonds and transition into the gas phase. Therefore, they will have the same average kinetic energy and maintain the same temperature throughout the boiling process until all the liquid has transformed into vapor.
