Why is liquid form of a material generally cooler than the gas form of that same material?

Matter has 3 states, solid, liquid, and gas.
Typically one thinks of solid being the "frozen", or the coldest state of the matter.
You heat a solid to create a liquid (or sometimes directly a gas called sublimation)
Liquid is in the middle.
You heat the liquid to create a gas which is at the highest temperature.
There is also the enthalpy of fusion, or the "specific melting heat", which is an additional amount of heat that is absorbed to melt something.
Likewise, there is the enthalpy of vaporization, or the "heat of vaporization" or the heat required to convert a liquid into a gas.
So, the gas not only is at a warmer temperature (or at the boiling point), but it is also at a higher energy state. And, if it condenses, say on your hand, it will impart this additional heat to your hand.

The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.
LSD can be dipped in liquid form on what and consumed?
Generally it was used on paper. A drop on paper was the usual mode of consumption.
Why are there vesicles in pumice and scoria?
Both scoria and pumice form from molten material with gas trapped inside.The gas forms bubbles in the liquid, then the liquid solidifies, retaining the shape of the bubbles.
Is wall paper paste liquid solid or gas?
This material can be delivered as: - a solid which form a paste when water is added - a paste A paste is a colloidal gel.
Is magma a liquid gas or solid?
Magma is mineral material that is in liquid form due to it's high temperature, and usually contains bubbles of gas. When it cools (below about 1400 degrees F) it becomes a solid.
Carbon dioxide is carried in a form of?

How sugar solid from liquid?
Sugar can crystallize from liquid form. It tends to do so if it is condensed enough. Also, cooler temperatures may play a role in solidification.
Is uranium used as liquid?
No. Uranium is generally used in solid form.
What is the name of the process of filling a mold with a liquid material that will form a sculpture?
Pour
Is gas a form of matter that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature?
Neither. A gas is a form of matter that is generally gaseous at room temperature.

Suspended and dissolved material indicates what?
The meaning of "dissolved" is that a material (solute) form a homogeneous solution.Suspended material float in a liquid but is not soluble; it is a non-homogeneous mixture.
Why do water droplets form on a lid when boiling water?
The lid is cooler than the steam (water vapor) produced by boiling the water. When the water vapor contacts that cooler surface, it condenses into liquid water.
