They have more kinetic energy so they have a higher temperature, assuming the liquid and solid molecules are the same molecule.
When you heat up something solid (like ice), you add energy, and the molecules move more quickly and separate, turning into a liquid (like water) and then a gas.

∙ 13y agoyes.................particles of liquids move more vigourosly than that of the solids
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoWhere did you get that idea? Average KE is a measure of the temperature. So, same temperature means same KE. It doesn't matter if the substance is a solid, liquid, or a gas.

When solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium which phase solid or liquid contain the greater amount of energy?
The answer depends on the specifics of the question. The idea though, is that when they are in equilibrium, both the solid and the liquid should have the same amount of energy PER MOLECULE. The fact that there is a solid component and a liquid component means that either the solid is melting or the liquid is freezing. In most situations, that means that the temperature of the whole mixture is constant. Another idea is that the energy in the molecules can either be kinetic or potential energy. Basically, the more kinetic energy PER MOLECULE an object has, the higher the object's temperature. Furthermore, the more potential energy PER MOLECULE that the object has, the further apart the molecules are from each other. Combining these ideas, here are a few possible answers to your question. 1. There is more solid than liquid. On average, the solid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the liquid. The solid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid has more potential energy in total. The solid has more overall energy. 2. There is more liquid than solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. 3. There are equal amounts of liquid and solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid has equal kinetic energy as the solid due to the even split. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. These three are the main possibilities, and as can be seen in the details, the answer depends on the relative amounts of liquid and solid.
What has more energy gas liquid or solid?
Solid has more energy. It has extensive energy as compared to liquid and gas.
How do you describe each phase change?
Endothermic phase changes - the substance is gaining energy (being heated) and the molecules are getting more active.- solid to liquid: melting- liquid to gas: vaporization- solid to gas: sublimationExothermic phase changes - the substance is losing energy (cooling) and the molecules are slowing down.- gas to liquid: condensation- liquid to solid: freezing- gas to solid: depositionMemory helper: exo is like exit, and the heat energy exits the substance during an exothermic phase change.
Why is the thermal conductivity of a liquid larger than of a gas?
The molecules in a liquid are densely packed than in a gas. The shorter distance between the molecules allows the energy to transfer more efficiently between molecules, therefore allowing more heat to pass between them.
Does A gas has more kinetic energy than a liquid?
... of the same substance, yes. As, in a gas the molecules are spaced farther apart and move around at greater speeds.

Is energy released when a solid changes to a liquid?
The latent heat of fusion
What has more energy gas liquid or solid?
Solid has more energy. It has extensive energy as compared to liquid and gas.
Hows the energy differs between a solid liquid and gas?
In three equal masses of the same pure substance, the solid, the liquid and the gas would all have the same amount of total energy. The solid will have less kinetic but more potential, the gas will have more kinetic but lesl potential energy.
How does water have more energy than ice?
Water in liquid form has more energy than ice, which is a solid form, because the molecules of water (H2O) are able to move freely in the liquid phase. In it's solid form, the molecules move much more slowly because they are held in place.
When a liquid becomes a solid where does the heat energy in the liquid go?
A gas has more heat energy, often called thermal energy, than a liquid, even if both the liquid and gas are at the same temperature. Consider that the gas molecules have more thermal energy than liquid molecules of that same substance. The gas molecules are "free" to move around more because they have more kinetic energy than molecules of the liquid. And kinetic energy is function of thermal energy. If we consider the case of water molecules to illustrate our point, when a pan of water is boiling, the water molecules escaping the pan as a gas have more kinetic energy than the ones making up the liquid water that is still in the pan. Also consider the case of water that is evaporating. Wet your finger and blow on it. The liquid water on your finger cools as the evaporating water molecules take thermal energy from that liquid to make their change of state possible. It takes an increase of thermal (heat) energy to change a liquid into a gas.
Do molecules have more freedom of movement in the solid state than in the liquid state?
No in a solid the molecules are fixed in position while in a liquid they can move around - that is why a liquid is 'liquid'.
What happens when liquid solids or gas absorb heat?
the molecules gain or lose energy, the more energy these molecules have the easy it is for them to break the bonds holding them together, thus when you apply enough heat to a substance it changes from a solid to a liquid then from a liquid to a gas.
Why does water heat slower than heat?
The molecules that compose or make up a solid, such as land, need more energy or in this case heat, to move them. The molecules are compact where as in liquid they have more mobility. When a substance heats, its molecules move faster. Since liquid's molecules have more mobility, liquid heats more quickly.
What happens to molecules when their temperature high?
They vibrate with more energy. Depending on their starting state, they may go from solid to liquid or gas, and from liquid to gas.
Do water molecules in the liquid state have more energy than water molecules in the polar state?
Do water molecules in the liquid state have more energy than water molecules in the polar state
