As the water heats up the pot you're boiling it in, the particles of the water receive more energy. The more energy the particles have, the faster they move and the farther they spread apart. When the water finally reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), its particles spread so far out that they make the transition from a liquid to a gas. Thus, making steam.

When liquid water boils, the water molecules move further away from each other. This is because kinetic (moving) energy of the water molecules increases when it's heated, causing them to vibrate more and move away from each other.

The particle bonds are broken and the particles are free to move whereever unless they hit each other

Steam gives off while liquid is still their but there also is gas produced.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when it boils?

The liquid will turn into a gas so the particles are gonna be moving around freely.


What happens to a liquid when it releases enough energy called?

A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.

How the arrangement and motion of the particle change when a solid melts a liquid boils a gas condensesa liquid freezes?

When a solid melts to become liquid, or a liquid boils to become a gas, the arrangement of particles gets farther apart and less structured, and the motion of the molecules becomes more random and they move faster. The opposite happens when a gas condenses to become a liquid, or when a liquid freezes to become a solid.


What happens to a liquid when is it is heated up?

First the liquid gets hot, then it boils becoming a gas.
