Answer 1

The correct response is:

The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.

This is because, in the gaseous state (steam), the particles are much further apart compared to their arrangement in the liquid state (water), and they also have more kinetic energy, resulting in higher speeds.
