A power plant generates thermal energy, which is often used to heat water. Steam from the hot water then turns turbines, which generates electricity. The steam then cools and condenses into liquid water. At which stage do the molecules have the most kinetic energy? a.) when they are present as hot water
b.) when they are condescending
c.) when they are in a gaseous form
d.) when they are present as cool water

4. now look at the green lines you created by connecting the three boiling point data points and the three melting point data points. for each of these lines, describe any trends you see. 5. locate the elements on your periodic table that you circled in green on your graph. what term or description would you use to identify these elements with respect to the periodic table? 7. using the room temperature line (orange line) and your periodic table, make lists that identify the state of matter (gas, liquid, or solid) in which each element you plotted exists at room temperature. explain your answers.
