When thermal energy is applied to water, the water’s temperature rises until 100° C and then stays the same. Which is the best explanation?(1 point)

Responses

When the water reaches 100° C, any increase in thermal energy goes to breaking the bonds between water molecules as the water boils and becomes steam.

When the water reaches 100° C, it can no longer absorb thermal energy.

When the water reaches 100° C, any increase in thermal energy becomes potential energy.

When the water reaches 100° C, the flow of thermal energy reverses, maintaining an equilibrium.
