What happens to water molecules when a large quantity of thermal energy is added to water in a liquid state?

• The more energy added, the greater the attraction between the molecules.
• The molecules gain energy, move farther apart, and become a gas.
• The water molecules become packed closer together, and their temperature increases.
• Each water molecule gives up energy and eventually stop moving.
