Molecules in a substance change into a new kind of molecule during a phase change.

A phase change is occurring; the liquid water is changing to gaseous water, or steam. On a molecular level, the intermolecular forces between the water molecules are decreasing. The heat is providing enough energy for the water molecules to overcome these attractive forces.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
