The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Gases have the same kinetic energy
Gas phase average kinetic energy equation.
KEavg = (3/2)RT
=================
As you see, in the gas phase the mass and the velocity of the particles do not matter and only a constant, R, and temperature need be considered.
If the temperature of a solid object and liquid are the same, then the average kinetic energy of the particles in the solid are equal to the average kinetic energy of the liquid.
The kinetic energy of molecules in a gas is greater than that in a liquid, and that is a liquid is greater than that in a solid. Thus, kinetic energy is: gas > liquid > solid.
They are equal
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Gases
solids molecules are closely compacted and liquids molecules are spread apart. Both solids and liquids molecules are always moving.
Heating.
they are attracted to each other opposites attract in tight spaces
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
kinetic energy
The common denominator would be the kinetic energy of the particles making up the solids, liquids, and gases.
Gases
Any of them can have kinetic energy - which is the energy "stored" in movement. So, a solid object moving has kinetic energy. In liquids and gasses, the atoms / molecules that make them up are in constant motion too, so they have a little kinetic energy as a result.
Liquids have higher kinetic energy than solids at the same temperature.
a
Sound speed depends on the vibration of the particles, the velocity in which the kinetic energy moves between the particles. Solids have particles that are very close to each other, so the transfer of kinetic energy will occur rapidly. In liquids and gases , however, the particles are far apart, so the transfer of kinetic energy from one particle to another will take time.
Liquids are easier to manipulate than solids are. Also, liquids generally conform to the shape of the container in which they are placed, while solids do not.
