Gases
In the solid state, particles are tightly packed and have the least amount of kinetic energy. In the liquid state, particles are less tightly packed and have more kinetic energy than in the solid state. In the gas state, particles are far apart and have the most kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of motion is related to the state of matter through the movement of particles. In a solid, particles have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles have more kinetic energy and move more freely. In a gas, particles have the highest kinetic energy and move randomly. In a plasma, particles have extremely high kinetic energy and move so fast that they ionize.
Gas.
Steam has higher kinetic energy than ice because the particles in steam have higher average velocities than those in ice. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles also increases, leading to faster movement of particles in the gaseous state compared to the solid state.
If you freeze water you are removing a particle's kinetic energy from the system that is in the form of heat energy. So as you heat up ice you are giving the water molecules more thermal kinetic energy so it transitions to water. If you keep pumping in heat (energy) these molecules will eventually have so much energy it will vaporize and turn to steam.
Particles with the most energy are typically found in the gaseous state. In this state, particles have high kinetic energy and move around rapidly. However, the specific amount of energy can vary depending on the temperature and pressure of the gas.
Particles in the gas state have the most energy of motion because they have high kinetic energy due to their fast and constant movement, as the particles are free to move and collide with each other. This results in particles in the gas state having higher average kinetic energy compared to particles in the solid or liquid state.
Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state (e.g. gravitational potential energy). Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.
The total kinetic energy of particles within a material refers to the sum of the energy due to the motion of all its constituent particles, including atoms and molecules. This energy is influenced by factors such as temperature and phase of the material; as temperature increases, the particles move faster, resulting in higher kinetic energy. In thermodynamics, this total kinetic energy is often associated with the material's internal energy, contributing to its thermal energy and potentially affecting its state and properties.
When particles gain energy, they can move faster and have higher kinetic energy. This increased kinetic energy usually leads to higher temperatures and can cause substances to change from one state to another (e.g., from solid to liquid or gas).
In the gaseous state. Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy compared to liquid and solid particles.
The gaseous state of matter typically has the largest amount of kinetic energy because gas particles move around freely and at high speeds. This movement results in a significant amount of kinetic energy in gases.
