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

Answer 1

A similarity between the particles in liquid water at 100°C and those in steam at the same temperature is that both exist at a high energy state due to the heat. A key difference is that the particles in liquid water are closely packed and interact more strongly, while the particles in steam are much farther apart and move freely, indicating a gaseous state with minimal interactions.
