What state of matter to particles have the most thermal energy?
Plasma's are the most energetic states we have discovered but the answer you are probably looking for is when the matter is in a gaseous state, that is when the atoms have dissociated from each other almost completely. But in plasma the particles that make up an atom have dissociated.
What state of matter has the least kinetic energy?
The state of matter than has the least internal kinetic energy (the kinetic energy of all the internal particles relative to the center of mass of the system), or the least internal + macrosopic kinetic energy, is the same state as "Which state of matter has the least thermal energy?". (hint: it's not the gaseous state). However, if you are asking what state of matter has the least macroscopic kinetic energy: Every state of matter can have systems with zero macroscopic kinetic energy. So none of them (or perhaps all of them) have the "least" kinetic energy.
Can the state of matter change when you add or take away energy?
Yes, particularly if you add thermal energy. At its least energetic, matter is in the solid state. Add some more energy, it transitions to the liquid state. Then more and it's a gas. Finally, at its most energetic, it is in the plasma state.
Why temperature of a body doesnt measure quantity of thermal energy?
Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.
Name at least two ways that thermal energy in air can be decreased?
The thermal energy in air could be decreased by cooling it by contact with a chill plate; or if the air pressure were decreased, the frequency of collision would decrease.

What energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.
What is the form of energy least available to accomplish cellular work?
Heat energy.Thermal Energy

Which phase of matter do particles have the most energy and the least energy?
Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.

Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.
Which phase of matter do the particles have the least energy?
The phase of matter that has the least kinetic energy is the solid phase. You know that temperature is a measure of kinetic energy among molecules of a substance and solid is the phase of matter that occurs at the lowest temperature.
How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?
When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.
In what state of matter atoms move the slowest?
Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy.

How is heat energy changes related to particle arrangement?
Solids have the least, then liquids, then gases. This is because a lot of thermal energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding substances together, In a solid, the bonds are strong, however thermal energy is used to patrially break these bonds, melting the solid. The liquid then needs further thermal energy to completely break these bonds to form gases
