Energy can be in many forms: below I have written how a liquid evaporates, which tells you about the average kinetic energy of particles. It relates to inTERmolecular bonding, although I'm not sure if you are also looking at inTRAmolecular bonding too.
Firstly, you should know that as a phase change is being undertaken (as a substance changes from solid, liquid or gas into something else), the temperature remains constant. Now you know that, I'll tell you why.
The average kinetic energy of a substance (the energy it has to move around ie. the speed of the particles) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, in kelvin. ie. If the temperature is 0K (zero kelvin, or -273.15ºC), there is NO movement of any particles. If the temperature is 100K (or -173.15ºC) there is SOME movement of particles. If the temperature is 373.15K (or 100ºC), there is GREATER movement of particles. ie. The higher the temperature, the higher the speed of the particles, and the higher the speed of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance.
There are intermolecular forces (ie. Van der Waal's forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding forces) that attract multiple molecules together. To overcome these forces, ie. to break free of these forces so that a particle can leave the liquid, that particle must have a lot of energy, enough to overcome the particular intermolecular forces (some are stronger than others - the three above are in order of weakest --> strongest respectively).
Some particles in a liquid have more energy than others. ie. some move faster than others. These particles are more likely to 'break free' of the forces and evaporate. When one of these higher-energy particles leaves the liquid, the average kinetic energy of the liquid decreases. Hence because average kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, the overall temperature decreases a little.
Sorry if its a bit of a confusing explanation! You really should know how one thing works to know how another works, so I tried using a little detail in it. ! :)

∙ 12y agoKinetic energy is defined as energy due to motion. The kinetic energy of molecules in a liquid is greater than a solid but less than a gas. Thus, liquid molecules can flow freely whereas solid molecules are fixed in place by chemical bonds. However, liquid molecules are still held together by intermolecular forces into a bulk substance, whereas gas molecules are energetic enough to freely escape surface and intermolecular interactions.

∙ 14y agoWell, it depends because Liquids are halfway between solids and gases. If you give the particles in a liquid some energy (such as heat) then they might be able to change into a gasevaporation.
While on the other hand, you can take some energy out of a liquid it may change into a solid freezing .
Therefore, the particles in a solid would have the least energy; gas particles have the most energy; and liquid particles would be somewhere in between.

∙ 14y agoThe amount of thermal energy required is measured in standard enthalpy of fusion or heat of fusion. The actual amount of energy varies depending on what molecule or element is used.
Example: ice to water is 286 kJ/mol, iron is around 14.6 kJ/mol depending on how it's calculated

How would you use energy level in a sentence?
Energy level is Energy level.
What has more energy gas liquid or solid?
Solid has more energy. It has extensive energy as compared to liquid and gas.
Do liquid releases energy?
Liquid is a phase of matter. Energy is created when matter is manipulated
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 happen to a liquid when it releases enough energy?
the liquid freezes.
What happens to the energy level of solid water as it become liquid water?
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
What liquid non metal has the same energy level of calcium?
Calcium has electrons in the 4th energy level. The only liquid that has valence electrons in energy level 4 would be BROMINE.
What element has only one energy level and is part of an essential liquid?
Hydrogen because it has one electron in one energy level and is needed to make water (essential liquid).
When an obeject is changing from a liquid to a solid does the energy increase or decrease?
The energy level decreases.
What state are electrons at their lowest possible energy level?
liquid
What is happening to liquid evaporation in terms of bond and energy levels?
Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas, therefore it involves increased energy and decreased bonding on the molecular level.
Molecules at the surface of a liquid can enter the vapor phase only if?
C, the energy level...
What happens to the energy level as something evaporates?
When something evaporates, the energy level increases. The particles gain enough energy and begin to spread apart, and into the air. With the increased energy level, it gives the liquid, or even the solid (sublimation), enough energy to vaporize (or evaporate) into thin air.
What happens to the energy level as a substance moves from the solid to the liquid and eventually to the gaseous state?
the amount of motion of each molecule increases. i.e the amount of disorder increases. since the motion is increasing as an object gets converted from solid to liquid to gas, the energy level increases.
What is the purpose of liquid level gauges?
Liquid level gauges are used to show the level of liquid in a container. They are most often used to view the level of liquid in tanks and boilers in an industrial setting.
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas energy is . When a substance changes from a gas to a liquid energy is .?
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas energy is absorbed. When a substance changes from a gas to a liquid energy is released.
What energy required to go from liquid to gas?
No. Energy is require to change it from liquid to gas. When water goes from gas to liquid it releases energy.
