Four brief paragraphs below describe the molecules in a beaker of water at $50^{\circ}C$. Which paragraph gives the correct description of the molecules?
- AThe molecules all travel at the same speed. This speed is not large enough for any of the molecules to leave the surface of the water. There are attractive forces between the molecules.
- BThe molecules have a range of speeds. Some molecules travel sufficiently fast to leave the surface of the water. There are no forces between the molecules.
- CThe molecules have a range of speeds. Some molecules travel sufficiently fast to leave the surface of the water. There are attractive forces between the molecules.
- DThe molecules have a range of speeds. The fastest molecules are unable to leave the surface of the water. There are attractive forces between the molecules.
