Which statement accurately describes what happens when water turns into steam in terms of energy?

AThe water absorbs energy which causes chemical bonds to break changing the water to steam

BThe water releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less Kinetic and potential energy changing their configuration from liquid to gas

CThe water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy changing the configuration from a liquid to gas

DThe water releases energy which causes Chemical bonds to break, changing the water to steam

It would be B. If the water cycle will have more kinetic energy when warm due to the molecules moving. For example, when you are warm, you move relatively faster rather than if you are cold.

According to the law of conservation of energy, it states that energy can never be created and nor be destroyed. It can only transfer from one place to another.


There are different types of energy. The energy is as follows:-


  • Heat energy
  • Wind energy
  • Light energy

The conversation of the liquid to the gas is called condensation. To convert the Liquid to gas requires high temperature and high pressure.

According to the question,  The water moves to the gas when the kinetic energy of the particle increased.

Hence the correct option is C that is the water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy changing the configuration from a liquid to gas.
