Which change happens when water boils?(1 point)

Question

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

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

When water boils, the heat energy added weakens the intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules, allowing them to turn into vapor. However, the covalent bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms within each water molecule remain intact.
