Than in ??what?? state

Kinetic energy is greater in liquid state because the liquid substance is moving. If the kinetic energy was less than in liquid state, the object of the state would become solid.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state?

The kinetic energy of molecules is directly related to their physical state. In general, molecules in a higher energy state (higher kinetic energy) tend to be in the gaseous state, where they have more freedom to move around. Conversely, molecules in a lower energy state (lower kinetic energy) tend to be in the solid or liquid state, where they have less freedom of movement.


How does water have more energy than ice?

Water in liquid form has more energy than ice, which is a solid form, because the molecules of water (H2O) are able to move freely in the liquid phase. In it's solid form, the molecules move much more slowly because they are held in place.


Hows the energy differs between a solid liquid and gas?

In three equal masses of the same pure substance, the solid, the liquid and the gas would all have the same amount of total energy. The solid will have less kinetic but more potential, the gas will have more kinetic but lesl potential energy.


Phases of matter do molecules have the highest amount of energy?

In the gas phase, molecules have the highest amount of energy as they possess greater kinetic energy and move more freely compared to the solid and liquid phases.


When ice melts what happens to the particles of solid water?

When ice melts, the particles of solid water (ice) gain enough energy to break the rigid structure and transition into a more fluid state as liquid water. The molecules in the ice start moving more freely and lose their fixed positions, leading to the change in state from solid to liquid.

What Substances have more kinetic energy in what state than in what state?

Substances have more kinetic energy in the gas state than in the liquid state and more in the liquid state than in the solid state. In gases, molecules move freely and rapidly, leading to higher kinetic energy, while in liquids, they have moderate motion and energy. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, resulting in the lowest kinetic energy among the three states.


What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules and their pysical state?

The kinetic energy of molecules is higher in the gaseous state compared to the liquid or solid state. This is because the molecules in a gas have more freedom of movement and higher average velocities. As a substance transitions from a solid to a liquid to a gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.


Which state of matter has more kinetic energy?

liquid because they slide against each other.


What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?

When matter gains kinetic energy, its particles move faster and have more energy. This can cause an increase in temperature, expansion of the material, or a change in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas).


The kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid state is more than in the solid state comment?

If you freeze water you are removing a particle's kinetic energy from the system that is in the form of heat energy. So as you heat up ice you are giving the water molecules more thermal kinetic energy so it transitions to water. If you keep pumping in heat (energy) these molecules will eventually have so much energy it will vaporize and turn to steam.


Do molecules in a liquid have the same kinetic energy as a gas?

No, molecules in a liquid have lower kinetic energy compared to a gas. In a liquid, the molecules are closer together and have weaker kinetic energy as they move more slowly. In contrast, molecules in a gas have higher kinetic energy because they are more spread out and move faster.


Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?

The phase change from solid to liquid results in increased kinetic energy because the particles in a solid have lower kinetic energy compared to those in a liquid. As the solid particles gain energy, they vibrate more and break free from their fixed positions, leading to the transition to a liquid state.


Does kinetic energy increase or decrease when a liquid changes to a gas?

Kinetic energy increases when a liquid changes to a gas because the molecules in a gas have higher average kinetic energy compared to those in a liquid. When a liquid evaporates and becomes a gas, the molecules gain more energy and move faster, increasing their kinetic energy.


When a gas turns into a liquid the energy of the particles?

When a gas turns into a liquid, the energy of the particles decreases as they lose kinetic energy and move closer together due to attractive forces between them. This results in a transition from the more disordered state of a gas to the more ordered state of a liquid.


According to the kinetic-molecular theory the atoms of a gas have more energy than what other state of matter?

The atoms of a gas have more energy than the atoms in a liquid or solid state of matter. In a gas, the atoms are moving around freely and have higher kinetic energy compared to the more constrained motion of atoms in a liquid or solid.


How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?

When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.


Is Kinetic energy a solid liquid or gas?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Heat is a form of kinetic energy (the movement of individual atoms or molecules) so the liquid phase contains more kinetic energy than the solid and the gas phase has more kinetic energy than the liquid phase. However, kinetic energy can also be imparted to a mass as a whole in which case if the total mass of the phases was constant the this imparted kinetic energy would be the same for all phases.
