heat increases kinetic energy i.e. motion of the particles leading to bond breakage which ultimately causes phase change
If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).
Gas (steam).
Gas to liquid change releases energy.
vapour/steam
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Heat is a form of kinetic energy (the movement of individual atoms or molecules) so the liquid phase contains more kinetic energy than the solid and the gas phase has more kinetic energy than the liquid phase. However, kinetic energy can also be imparted to a mass as a whole in which case if the total mass of the phases was constant the this imparted kinetic energy would be the same for all phases.
The particles of the substance gain kinetic energy as they absorb heat energy. Eventually there is enough kinetic energy for the particles to escape the liquid phase, forming the gas phase.
im looking for the question
Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.
Average kinetic energy on an atomic or molecular scale is what we perceive as temperature, and temperature is a major determinant of phase (along with pressure, which is the other major determinant).
This is the solid phase.
the gas phase
The total kinetic energy of molecules must remain constant during changes of phase.
If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).
Gas (steam).
The kinetic energy increases as you add more heat.
Gas to liquid change releases energy.
As the kinetic energy of matter is increased, the temperature increases and phase changes from solid to liquid or liquid to gas occur. If pressure is low enough, sublimation could occur.
