Molecules of water in gas form (steam) are moving faster and are further apart than the molecules in liquid water. This is becauses steam has more ______ energy than liquid water. //Las moléculas de agua en forma de gas (vapor) se mueven más rápido y están más separadas que las moléculas en agua líquida. Esto se debe a que el vapor tiene más ______ energía que el agua líquida.
