Water boils at 100°C and turns into steam. Which similarities or differences are there between water at 100°C and steam at 100°C? (1 point)
Responses
The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.
The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.
The particles will have more space between them as a liquid, but they will be moving faster as steam.
The particles will have more space between them as a liquid, but they will be moving faster as steam.
The particles will have more space between them as a liquid, but they will be moving at the same speed in both states.
The particles will have more space between them as a liquid, but they will be moving at the same speed in both states.

The particles will have more space between them as steam, but they will be moving at the same speed in both states. It's like a crowded party where everyone suddenly disperses, but they continue dancing at the same speed. They just have more room to show off their moves as steam!
The correct response is: The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.
Explanation: When water is at boiling point (100°C), it can exist in two states - liquid and steam. In the liquid state, the particles (molecules of water) are close together and have less space between them. However, when the water reaches its boiling point and turns into steam, the particles gain more space between them. This is because, in the gaseous state, the particles move more freely and are not bound together as closely as in the liquid state. Additionally, the particles in the gaseous state (steam) have higher kinetic energy, meaning they move at higher speeds compared to the particles in the liquid state. Therefore, steam at 100°C has particles with more space between them and moving at higher speeds compared to water at 100°C.
