For any substance,which phase of matter contains the greatest amount of energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gas molecules have the greatest amount of energy as they move rapidly and bounce off each other and the container walls with high kinetic energy. This is because they have the most thermal energy due to their high temperature and increased distance between molecules as compared to the other phases of matter. Solids have the least amount of energy, as their particles are tightly packed and only vibrate in place, while liquids have more energy than solids as their particles are moving and have a higher kinetic energy.
