when thermal energy is applied to water the waters temperature rises until 100 d. celcuis and then stays the same which is the best explanation
when the water reaches 100 any increase in thermal energy goes to breaking bonds between water molcules ad the water boils and becomes steam
when the water reaches 100 it can no longer absorb thermal energy
when the water reaches 100 the flow of thermal energy reverses maintaning an equilibrium
when the water reaches 100 any increase in thermal energy becomes potential energy
