Similarity and difference between Steam particles at 100°C and Liquid particles at 100°C

Particles in steam at 100 C have more energy than water at the same temperature. ... Thus the total energy of steam is the sum of latent heat and kinetic energy whereas liquid water comprise of only kinetic energy. Hence, we can say that molecules of steam have higher energy than the molecules of liquid water.
