Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.

Do molecules gain or lose energy from melting?
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Does boil water gain or lose energy?
You have to put energy IN to keep it boiling, so the water molecules gain energy (from the heating source): the answer is 'GAIN energy' and NOT (as wrongly stated before) 'LOSE' it.water only looses energy when it turns into a solid.and adds energy when turning into a gas
Does vaporization lose or gain energy?
Vaporatization gains energy because it is the opposite of evaporation and evaporation loses energy. Here are some other things that, like vaporation, gain energy: -melting ... ... ... ... wait one minute, let me think again... oh ya now i remember... -nothing else :D
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
How do objects gain or lose energy?
lose energy: gravity, otherwise see neuton's laws
When water goes through condensation do the molecules gain or lose energy?
When water gains energy the water molecules turn into vapor also known as Evaporation.
How does evaporation help a runner to lose energy use ideas of molecules in the answer?
For the runner to cool

Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
How atoms and molecules can gain or lose energy in discrete amount?
The enrgy is always lost or gained in only the definite amount that is called as discrete or packet energy.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
