Question

As water becomes warmer, boils and then becomes water vapor (steam), what happens to its kinetic and potential energies?(1 point) Responses The particles gain kinetic energy as it heats up, but the potential energy of the particles will stay the same. The particles gain kinetic energy as it heats up, but the potential energy of the particles will stay the same. The particles will gain potential energy as it heats up, but the kinetic energy of the particles will stay the same. The particles will gain potential energy as it heats up, but the kinetic energy of the particles will stay the same. The particles gain both potential and kinetic energy.
