Question

The normal boiling point of water is $100^\circ\text{C}$. At $100^\circ\text{C}$

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

At the equilibrium boiling point, the temperatures of both phases are identical, resulting in identical average kinetic energy. However, the molecules in the vapor phase possess greater intermolecular separation, having overcome cohesive forces, leading to substantially higher potential energy.
