Understand the Problem

The question appears to be about the comparison of the movement of water particles in gas with the particles of water in a pan. It seems to seek a term that describes the movement of these particles in relation to each other.

Answer

False. Gas particles move faster than liquid particles in the pan.

The statement is false. Water particles in the gas coming off a pot of boiling water move faster than the particles in the pot.

Answer for screen readers

The statement is false. Water particles in the gas coming off a pot of boiling water move faster than the particles in the pot.

More Information

When water boils, the heat causes the water molecules to move faster, transitioning from liquid to gas. In the gaseous state, particles have higher kinetic energy than in the liquid state.

Tips

A common misunderstanding is thinking particles in the liquid phase have more energy than in the gas phase. Remember that gas particles gain energy and move faster.
