How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
Arrangement of atoms at the peak of an energy barrier?
Activated complex.
What is the amount of energy needed to reach the activated complex?
The activated complex lies at the top of the energy curve. It is the highest energy complex in the overall reaction scheme, synonymous to the transition state. If you look at the reaction: A + B --> C + D The activated complex is right in the middle of the arrow. For A + B to become C + D, we need some energy. Because you're forcing two atoms close together, bonds are being formed and broken. The activated complex is where those bonds are all half broken and formed. To get a better feel for this, do a search for reaction coordinates. You'll see an energy curve for the reaction which will show a large bump in energy. At the very top of that bump is the activated complex. As a side note, it can come as a bit of a shock when people start talking about activated complexes\transition states. Because often in chemistry you'll spend years just sort of assuming these things are clean and instant...which actually goes against our common sense. Just trust your instincts here, everything takes time...even if it is only a tiny fraction of a second. Find a reaction and try to picture what the activated complex would be, you would likely be surprised how correct you are for many of them. If you are doing a chemistry degree, you should have a course or two specifically about these. For further searching try: activated complex, transition state, transition stage, reaction intermediate, reaction coordinate.

Example of electrical energy changing to chemical energy to kinetic energy?
how can you change potencial energy to kinetic energy
What represents the highest energy point on an energy diagram?
activation energy
Activated-complex theory of chemical kinetics?
actvated theory is just the collision theory but kinetic energy in activated comlex is less than collision theory
When kinetic energy is the heighest?
Kinetic Energy is given by,KE = 1/2mv2 So, Kinetic energy is highest when velocity is highest..

Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
Which are the first particles to evaporate from a liquid?
The particles that evaporate from a liquid are on the surface of the liquid.
Arrangement of atoms at the peak of an energy barrier?
Activated complex.
Do molecules have the lowest average kinetic energy in a plasma?
No. Molecules have the lowest average kinetic energy in a solid. Plasma is the highest average kinetic energy.
What energy does pendulum have?
When the pendulum is at its highest point or amplitude, it has the highest potential energy. When it passes by its point of equilibriu, it has the highest kinetic energy.
What is the energy of a playground swing at its highest point?
As the swing moves, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. At the highest position all energy is gravitational potential energy as the swing has stopped at its highest position. Then the energy is converted back to kinetic energy, KE as it descends.
Where does the bob have the highest potential energy?
-- If you're talking about a pendulum, then the potential energy is highest and kinetic energy is zero at the ends of the swing, and potential energy is lowest and kinetic energy is highest in the middle of the swing. -- If you're not talking about a pendulum, then the preceding may be completely wrong.
Where is the kinetic energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.
A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its kinetic energy minimum?
At the highest point, the kinetic energy is least.
