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.

How does solids liquids and gases react to temperature?
Magnitude in thermal expansion is how much the substance can expand, so, the relative order of magnitude of thermal expansion is: solid<liquid<gases. Gases expand more than liquid, and liquid more than solid.
What particles make up a very hot liquid?
The kinetic theory of matter can be used to explain how solids, liquids and gases are interchangeable as a result of increase or decrease in heat energy. When an object is heated the motion of the particles increases as the particles become more energetic.
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
Why is solid hard answer through kinetic particle theory?
According to the kinetic theory of solids (kinetic particle theory) solids, the molecules in a solid vibrate around a fixed location in the solid. The molecules are in a low enough energy state that it requires a lot of additional energy to displace a large number of them simultaneously from their normal neighborhood where they oscillate. The lower the temperature, the smaller the range of their oscillation. Molecules in liquids and gasses are higher energy with much wider range of vibration and no fixed location that they vibrate around, so displacing a bunch of molecules requires much less energy. Because the molecules in solids are much more closely packed than in gases and strongly resist any significant displacement from their preferred range of oscillation, this manifests as "hardness". Solids that resist displacement less are softer.
Why is the gravitational pull on liquids more noticeable than pull on solids?
Liquids are easier to move around more.
How much kinetic energy is in a solid?
a
Hows the energy differs between a solid liquid and gas?
In three equal masses of the same pure substance, the solid, the liquid and the gas would all have the same amount of total energy. The solid will have less kinetic but more potential, the gas will have more kinetic but lesl potential energy.
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink
Why do solids heat up faster than liquids?
Solids are more compact than liquids. The particles of a solid are closer together. Since heat is the kinetic force between particles, the closer those particles are the easier it is to excite them.
Is there more liquids than solids on the earth?
On the surface, more liquids. Considering the whole Earth, much more solids than liquids
Can particles in a gas have more energy than those in liquids and solids?
Yes. Generally speaking they do.
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
How mixtures form?
mixtures can be formed by physically putting two or more substances together. Mixtures can be formed between solids and liquids, solids and solids, liquids and liquids, solids and gas, liquids and gas, gas and gas
Why are liquids more heavier than solids?
liquids are really not heavier that solids. solids are acutally heavier. this is one of the properties of a solid.
Do gases have more energy than solids and liquids?
yes because to be a gas it needs more heat and heat is energy, although if you smash a piece of ice in the ground it might have more energy
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
Explain by kinetic molecular theory why ice is more dense then water vapours?
By looking at the states of matter ( solid ,liquid or gas) we can determine that a giben sample will have how much energy. Molecules in solid have least kinetic energy. Molecules in vapor (gas) have highest kinetic energy. Liquids have moderatee kinetic energy.
