How do you know that particles in a gas have more energy than particles of same substance as a liquid or a solid?

We know that for any given substance, and at a given pressure, the gas phase exists at a higher temperature than the liquid phase, which exists at a higher temperature than the solid phase. And temperature measures heat energy per molecule or atom, hence, gas particles have more energy than particles of the same substance in their liquid or solid phase.

Does thermal energy can cause matter to experience a change of phase why?
Yes because when the thermal energy of a substance increases, it's particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases, it's particles melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than it's solid state
Why does a substance have more thermal energy as a gas than as a liquid or solid?
The reason is that the particles of a gas move around fastest.
What is the gaseous state of substance that is normally a liquid or a liquid or a solid?
When a substance is in its gas phase, the particles are taking up as much room as they possibly can and are moving at a very high rate. They collide with each other frequently and are full of energy. The particles are also very spaced out, unlike the liquid and solid phases.
What happens to particles of matter as they change from a solid to a liquid?
It changes shape.
When a solid substance is placed in water or another liquid particles of the substance break awayand move into a liquid what is this called?
The process is called 'dissolving', provided the solid substance is soluble in the liquid solvent in which it is present.

Does it gain or lose energy when a solid melts?
anytime a substance changes it's molecular structure (solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, solid to gas, gas to liquid) it loses engergy.
What is the energy of a substance has from the movement of its particles?
solid
What happens to particles inside of a solid liquid or gas when energy is added compared to when energy is removed?
When energy is added the particles inside the substance vibrate more. Conversely, the vibrate less when energy is removed.
When comparing a solid with a liquid which has particles with more energy?
Liquid

Heat is what in motion?
As energy is added to a substance, the particles that make up the substance vibrate faster. This is what causes substances to change state (solid to liquid to gas). As the particles move faster, the structure changes.
When a solid substance is placed in water or another liquid particles of the substance break awayand move into a liquid what is this called?
The process is called 'dissolving', provided the solid substance is soluble in the liquid solvent in which it is present.
