The gas state has the most energy out of all three states because of how freely the molecules are moving, and able to move. In a solid, the molecules are forced together, with minimal space to move. In a liquid, the molecules are able to move a considerable space, but not as freely as gas. This answer is based on the "basic" three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. There are other states of matter, and a plasma is a state of extreme energy. For instance, a star like our sun is a big ball of plasma. And plasma is a collection of atoms that have so much thermal energy that all their electrons have been "boiled off" due to extreme heating. Heat a solid, it liquifies (sublimatin excepted). Heat a liquid, it boils. Heat a gas sufficiently, and it will shed its electrons and become a superheated - and highly energetic - substance. It will become a plasma. Note that there are other states of matter, but they don't involve extremely high energies.

In which state of matter are the particles most free to move about?

In the gaseous state of matter, the molecules of a substance are most free to move about as there is little attractive forces between the neighboring molecules.

What phase of matter contains molecules that have the most amount of energy?

Plasma, then gases.


Which state in science has the most energy?

The state in which matter has the most energy is plasma. Plasma is a state of matter where the particles, such as electrons and protons, have enough energy to break free from their atoms, resulting in a highly energized and electrically charged state.


Which phase or state of matter has the most kinetic energy?

The physical state, or phase, that has the greatest kinetic energy is gas. In a gas, the molecules are more free to move and they move more rapidly than in the other phases, and it is this motion that constitutes kinetic energy.
