Water can exist in three states.
1) Solid State: Called Ice.
2) Liquid State: Called Liquid Water.
3) Gas State: Called Steam.
Remember:
The physical states of a matter depends upon the interactions between the particles of that substance. The interactions are very strong in solid state, strong in liquid state and very weak or negligible in gas state.
If you want to change the state from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas you will have to provide energy in order to break the interactions between the molecules. Stronger the interactions, the more is energy required to break the interactions.
Water need more energy to convert from liquid to gas phase because hydrogen bond interactions are present among the molecules of water. And the hydrogen bonds are strong enough. Hence in order to break these interactions high energy is required.

Your answer is 3! Hope you get a good grade :)♥
The answer is (2) higher vapor pressure and weaker intermolecular forces. Propanone has a lower boiling point, so it is more volatile than water. Propanone's vapor pressure is, therefore, higher than that of water at 50 degrees Celsius. Propanone is more volatile due to the fact that the intermolecular forces that hold its molecuels together are not as strong as those that hold together molecules of water. Since the IMFs are weaker, it takes less thermal energy to break individual molecules free of each other.
