Worked Solution & Example Answer:When water boils and turns into steam, there are changes in the arrangement of particles and the density - Edexcel - GCSE Physics Combined Science - Question 2 - 2022 - Paper 1
Step 1
space between particles in steam and density of steam
Answer
When water boils, it changes from a liquid to a gas (steam). The particles in steam are farther apart compared to the liquid state of water, indicating that the space between the particles in steam is bigger than in water. Additionally, the density of steam is less than that of water because the same mass occupies a larger volume in the gaseous state. Thus, the correct option that represents these changes is:
A: bigger than in water, less than water.
