Question

Which change happens when water boils?(1 point)

The forces between water molecules weaken, and the bonds between the atoms in water are unchanged.

The forces between water molecules are unchanged, and the bonds between the atoms in the water break.

The forces between water molecules and the bonds between the atoms in the water molecules break.

The forces between water molecules become stronger, and the bonds between atoms in the water remain unchanged.

Answer 1

"The forces between water molecules weaken, and the bonds between the atoms in water are unchanged."

Explanation: Boiling converts liquid water to vapor by giving molecules enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds). The covalent O–H bonds within each H2O molecule are not broken.
