Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What state if matter has the highest energy?
A
Plasma
B
Gas
C
Solid
D
Liquid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: 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-2: -Plasma is the highest energy state of matter consisting of a collection of free-moving electrons, positive ions and neutral particles. It is ionised gas and makes up 99% of all matter in the known universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quark-gluon plasma: the state with the highest energy level. It is basically the building blocks of matter existing in a soup resembling conditions just after the Universe was created. Degenerate matter: the highly compressed state which often exists in the cores of massive stars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma is the highest energy state of matter. It consists of a collection of free-moving electrons, positive ions and neutral particles. Although it is closely related to the gas phase in that it has no definite shape or volume, it does differ in a number of ways: Plasma has a very high electrical conductivity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gases have no bonds, (they are neutral) so gas molecules can move about independently; they have a higher kinetic energy than solids and liquids. Plasma has the highest kinetic energy, and it has a charge since it loses electrons.
