Gas. Lets take water for an example. For it to be liquid it can be room temperature however for it to be a gas, it needs to break all of its inter molecular forces and hydrogen bonding. This requires alot of thermal energy or heat as it has to become 100 degrees for water to boil and become a gas.

What is an example of converting chemical energy into thermal energy?
Combustion (fire or burning) is arguably the most common example of converting chemical energy into thermal energy. But consider that all animals create a bit of thermal energy converting chemical energy into heat (as well as some mechanical energy) when they move.
Thermal energy is comprised of?
kinetic energy
What is phase energy?
The amount of excitement in a solid, liquid ar gas. For example a gas has the most amount of energy and solids have the least amount.
Energy that is produced commercially from coal is called?
Thermal energy I suppose, but in most cases it is used for electricity. The steel industry uses coal (or coke rather) in blast furnaces.
What type of energy is released in chemical reactions?
There can be many, kinetic (explosion), radiation (light) but the most common and the one people think of is thermal.
What kind of things have thermal energy?
Most things have thermal energy. Thermal energy is comes from heat and therefore anything that can generate heat has thermal energy. All living things have thermal energy.
Were is the most thermal energy?
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
What Unlike other forms of energy thermal energy is not easy to?
Thermal energy is the most difficult to convert into other forms of energy.
Unlike other forms of energy thermal energy is not easy to what?
Thermal energy is the most difficult to convert into other forms of energy.
Where is most of thermal energy stored?
Thermal energy is just mechanical energy on a molecular level (e.g. the motion of individual molecules). Therefore, thermal energy is stored in every molecule of the subject.
Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?
Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.
Which phase of matter do particles have the most energy and the least energy?
Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.
Which phase has the most energy?
gas
When a ball falls and hit the ground how does the potencial energy of the ball compare to the ammmount of thermal energy produce?
Most of the potential energy will be converted to thermal energy in this case.
Which phase of matter would have the most kinetic energy?
This is the solid phase.
How do you measre thermal enegry?
The most common and easiest way to measure thermal energy is with the use of a thermometer. The thermometer measures heat. Heat is the output of thermal energy.
How does most thermal energy in the atmosphere move?
convection
