ATheir kinetic energies are high enough
BThe liquid has no attractive forces
CAll particles have identical energies
DEvery particle is at boiling point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Their kinetic energies are high enough
Some particles have enough kinetic energy to overcome attraction even below the liquid's boiling point.
