Rudy Stone · Answer 1

The molecules start to move fater causing lighter water and boiling water

Monique · Answer 2

Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.
