A similarity between the particles in liquid water at 100°C and in steam at 100°C is that both exist at the same temperature, and thus possess similar amounts of thermal energy. A difference is that the particles in liquid water are closely packed and exhibit stronger intermolecular attractions, while the particles in steam are much farther apart and move freely, indicating a gaseous state with weaker interactions.
In one to two sentences explain a similarity and a difference between the particles in liquid water at 100°c and the particles steam at 100°c

Liquid water at 100°C and steam at 100°C are both the same temperature, which means their particles have a lot of energy. However, in liquid water, the particles are close together and stick to each other more, while in steam, the particles are far apart and can move around freely.
