Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus. Gases can become plasmas in several ways, but all include pumping the gas with energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gases, like air, are substances that drift about and will float away if they are not sealed up. The arrangement of particles within a substance decides whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas. Gases are much lighter than solids and liquids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Molecules in a liquid have more energy than molecules in a solid. And if you heat it up even more, the molecules will speed up so much that they won’t be stuck together at all. The molecules in the gas have the most energy.
