A pot of boiling water has more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water because it contains a greater volume of water and therefore a higher total amount of heat energy.
Boiling water involves converting liquid water to steam by adding heat energy. The heat energy increases the temperature of the water until it reaches its boiling point, at which point the water vaporizes into steam.
Boiling water typically uses thermal energy, which is the energy associated with heat. When water reaches its boiling point, the thermal energy added to the water causes the water molecules to gain enough kinetic energy to break free from their liquid state and change into vapor.
The energy transformation in a boiling pot of water is from thermal energy (heat) to kinetic energy (movement of water molecules) as the temperature rises and water molecules gain enough energy to escape as water vapor.
Potential energy.
Boiling water can be either thermal energy or kinetic energy dependent upon how it's used. If it is used to heat up another object (thereby transferring energy in that manner) it is thermal; if the water vapor from the boiled water is used to say, run a turbine, it would be kinetic in that sense. Chances are, for most cases involving boiling water, or more specifically the water vapor produced by it, the energy associated with that will be kinetic.
When a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the absorbed heat energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds in the liquid, allowing the molecules to move more freely. This increased molecular mobility results in potential energy as the particles gain more energy to overcome intermolecular forces and transition into the gaseous state.

It doesn't because during boiling, the temperature remains constant and so does the kinetic energy of the molecules. The latent heat supplied is used to do work against intermolecular forces of attraction while separating molecules such that the molecular potential energy increases. Some energy is also used to do work in pushing back the atmosphere.
The potential energy in this system is the column of water stored behind the dam. This water has the potential to have its energy turned into electric power.
Potential energy.
Yes, water has energy in the form of kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy from water molecules moving, while potential energy refers to the energy stored when water is held at a certain height.
When a stove is boiling water, electrical energy from the stove is being transformed into thermal energy as the stove heats the water. The thermal energy then causes the water to boil and turn into steam.
No, a glass of water sitting on a table does not have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state, such as when the glass of water is raised above the table.
