Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

When water boils until it evaporates, the molecules transition into water vapor as they overcome intermolecular forces at the boiling point.


Explanation:

Boiling water: When a pot of boiling water is left on the stove until all the liquid is gone, the water molecules overcome the intermolecular forces, transition into water vapor, and fly away from each other, becoming a gas. This change occurs at the boiling point when the energy supplied overcomes the attractive forces holding the molecules together.
