As liquid water actively boils, the particles gain kinetic energy as they absorb heat, leading to an increase in temperature until the boiling point is reached. When boiling, the temperature remains constant, but the particles transition into the gas phase, which requires energy.
Given these considerations, none of the provided responses accurately capture the scenario during boiling, but the key aspects to note are that the particles gain kinetic energy, the temperature remains constant, and there is a transition from liquid to gas.
Thus, none of the options you provided are correct in describing what happens to water particles as it boils. If you must choose from the options given, it would be beneficial to clarify or re-evaluate the choices, as they appear to contain inaccuracies regarding the behavior of particles during boiling.
