Buick, what school do you go to?
Evil, thankyou. You pretty much summed it up for me.
NO the stability ISN'T lost. The energy required to break the Ionic bonds between the hydrogens and the oxygen is far passed the energy level required to bring the water to boiling. The energy required to break those bonds is ENORMOUS. You say you're in chem 136 yet you don't even understand extremely simple, 7th grade earth science material. Chem 136 my ass, no-one allowed into college can possibly be as dumb as you. You're ignorant, you proclaim that your chem 136 knowledge is far superior to people who have 2 degrees in chemistry. You argue that you're that intelligent but you don't even have the common sense to explain where the energy in the form of heat goes when water evaporates into the air. I vote you get a kick in the skull.
I'm trying to break off with the chemistry, obviously he isn't understanding it.. Lets try physics
I've posted previously about my father, but let me elaborate on this. Look along if you want (
www.jlab.org) JLAB is an electron beam generator facilty. To split a bond on an atom, it takes them 20Megawatts to get an electron fast enough to break the strike the atom and break the bond. 20 Megawatts of power. Lets see here
Mega=10^6=10x10x10x10x10x10=1,000,000
20megawatts =20,000,000 watts
1 Joule= 1 Watt/1 Second
It takes them 24 Millionths of a second to get the electron to that speed, this would mean. 0.000024th of a second.
Given the listed equations, that would mean:
20,000,000Watts/0.000024seconds= 8,333,333,333,333 Joules
1 Gallon of gasoline = 1.3X10^8 joules of energy=130,000,000 joules

8,333,333,333,333/130,000,000=64,102 Gallons of gasoline to get enough energy to break the ionic bonds between a couple of ionic bonds on H20. Thats fuel efficiency.
