The energy of particles in liquid copper is higher than that in liquid water due to the differences in their atomic structures. Copper, being a metal, has loosely bound electrons that contribute to higher energy levels compared to water molecules, which are composed of covalently bonded hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Therefore, the average kinetic energy of particles in liquid copper is greater than that in liquid water.
Movement of particles
The energy in particles (like molecules or ions) helps to dissolve the solvent by breaking the intermolecular forces holding the solvent molecules together. When particles with sufficient energy collide with the solvent molecules, they can overcome the solvent-solvent interactions, allowing the solute particles to intermingle and disperse within the solvent.
The particles move faster. Thermal energy is a measure of kinetic energy of molecules.
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
The energy of particles in liquid copper is generally higher than the energy of molecules in liquid water because the metallic bonding in copper leads to stronger forces between the particles. These stronger forces result in higher energy required to break the bonds between the particles in copper compared to the weaker intermolecular forces in water.

Movement of particles
It is the energy that affects motion of particles, which are atoms and molecules.

The particles' movements slow down. Particles (or atoms) contain energy; the more energy the particles have, the more the particles move. However, there is a certain level of energy at which the bonds between the particles break; this energy is called bond energy. For example, take a boiling pot of water. At the atomic level view, heat is equal to energy; the heat is transferred from the flame to the H2O molecules, giving them more energy and making them move faster. The the H2O molecules break apart, turning to hydrogen and oxygen gas. In an ice cube, the heat/energy is taken from the H2O molecules, slowing them down and creating a packed solid.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. This kinetic energy is directly related to the speed at which the particles are moving.
The energy of atoms and molecules in an object due to their motion is called kinetic energy. This energy is a result of the random motion of particles within the object. The temperature of an object is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles.
The energy related to the movement of molecules is called kinetic energy. This energy is a result of the motion of particles and is dependent on their mass and velocity. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.
Thermal energy involves the movement of molecules and atoms. It is the energy of particles in a substance due to their random motion.
Faster. This assumes the same type of atoms or molecules.
