Which option describes the particles of water as the liquid water actively boils? (1 point) Responses The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling. The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling. The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling. The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling. The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling. The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling. The particles will lose kinetic energy and increase temperature during boiling.

Answer 1

The correct option is: The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling.

When water is boiling, the temperature remains constant, and the particles have the same average kinetic energy. However, they are transitioning from the liquid phase to the gas phase, which involves energy absorption (latent heat of vaporization) without a change in temperature.
