Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Particles (molecules) in a ____ have more energy than the other states of matter.
A
gas
B
solid
C
liquid
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In gases, the particles move quickly as they have high energy. The molecules of gases have the highest energy in comparison to the molecules of solids and liquids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Energy and State of Matter A pure substance in the gaseous state contains more energy than in the liquid state, which in turn contains more energy than in the solid state. Particles has the highest kinetic energy when they are in the gaseous state. Kinetic energy is related to heat (also called thermal energy).

Detailed explanation-3: -Particle arrangement and movement In terms of relative energy, gas particles have the most energy, solid particles have the least energy and liquid particles are somewhere in between. (All compared at the same temperature.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma possesses the most kinetic energy of the fundamental states of matter. This is because the particles in a plasma move faster than the particles in a solid, liquid or gas of the same substance.

Detailed explanation-5: -The kinetic energy of molecules is highest in gases because molecules in gases have more space between them and they observe the less intermolecular force on each other and move with higher velocity and due to higher velocity in the process higher energy.
