Question

Why does a liquid transition into a gas upon continuous heating?
Options
A Attractive forces are fully broken, freeing particles to move independently
Correct Answer
B Molecules permanently expand their atomic diameters tenfold
C The covalent bonds holding the atoms together dissociate completely
D Mass is systematically converted into thermal electromagnetic radiation
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Heating loosens intermolecular forces; when these attractive interactions are fully broken, particles are free to fly apart as a gas.
