Question

Thermal energy is added to water. Which of the following describes the new state of matter?

A- An exothermic process has caused the phase change.
B- Kinetic energy of particles has decreased.
C- Bonds have been broken that hold particles in place.
D- Particles are attracted to each other and form bonds.

Answer 1

Bonds have been broken that held particles in place

Step-by-step explanation:

Boiling took place with use of thermal energy(heat energy), this will make particles to move faster and apart from each other bcos temperature is increased. Increase in temperature causes increase in kinetic energy
