Which will cause severe burn steam or boiling water?

Steam can cause more severe burns than boiling water because it carries additional energy in the form of latent heat. When steam comes into contact with skin, it condenses into water, releasing this extra energy and resulting in a more intense burn. In contrast, boiling water can cause burns as well, but it lacks the same energy transfer that steam provides. Therefore, steam is generally considered more dangerous in terms of burn potential.
