Question

When you boil water, what happens that allows the liquid to turn into gas?

The molecules have a lot of energy and overcome forces that hold them together.
The molecules have very little energy and disperse in a gas.
The molecules form strong bonds and can then evaporate.

Answer 1

The molecules have a lot of energy and overcome forces that hold them together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is the first option.

When you heat up water, the molecules move faster and faster, breaking chemical bonds that release more and more energy. The forces that hold the molecules together are broken, transforming the liquid molecules into gas.
