ASAP PLS HELP Which statement accurately describes what happens when water turns to steam in terms of energy?

The water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from a liquid to a gas.

The water absorbs energy which causes chemical bonds to break, changing water to steam.

The water releases energy which causes chemical bonds to break, changing water to steam.

The water releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from liquid to gas.

The water absorbs energy which causes chemical bonds to break, changing water to steam.

Explanation:

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
