In which state of matter do the molecules have the most energy?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

plasma is the most energy. The energy levels go from solid to liquid to gas to plasma. Each of the first three states of matter could become each other instantly but to become a plasma matter first must become a gas. Gases solids and liquids

Answer 3

A plasma is superheated material, and it has a lot of energy in it. We know of solids, liquids and gases, and plasma is a state of matter above a gas. As plasma is superheated, it has a tremendous amount of thermal energy, and this may be the state of matter that has the most potential energy. A plasma of a given material will have more potential energy than a gas, a liquid or a solid form of that material.

Answer 4

The gas state has the greatest amount of energy.

Answer 5

the gaseous state

Answer 6

The gaseous state.

Answer 7

Gas state.
