Why does water NOT change temperature during boiling?

• Because the molecules of water take in all the heat to their nucleus

• Because heat is not the same thing as temperature

• Because adding heat doesn't ever change the temperature of water

• Because all of the energy is used to overcome the attraction of molecules
