You heat water and olive oil in two separate pans for a delicious new pasta recipe. The pans are the same temperature, but only the water is boiling! Why? A
Olive oil has weaker intermolecular forces than water. This makes the intermolecular forces in oil easier to break, and keeps the molecules stuck together in a liquid state.

B
Water has weaker intermolecular forces than olive oil. This makes the intermolecular forces easier to break, allowing the individual water molecules to separate and change to a gas.

C
Water is losing electrons more quickly than olive oil is. The electrons float to the surface of the water, and their movement allows the phase change to happen.
