The correct option that describes the particles of water as the liquid water actively boils is:
The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling.
During the boiling process, while the temperature remains constant (at 100°C for pure water), the particles have enough kinetic energy to escape into the gas phase, and their average kinetic energy does not increase until all the water has transitioned to a gas.
