In a liquid, the particles possess kinetic energy, which allows them to move and slide past one another, giving liquids a definite volume but no fixed shape. This movement is more restricted than in gases, as the particles are closer together and experience intermolecular forces. Additionally, liquids have some potential energy due to the interactions between the particles. Overall, the balance of kinetic and potential energy in liquids contributes to their unique properties.
The particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first to evaporate from a liquid. These particles are usually found near the surface of the liquid where they can break free from intermolecular forces and escape into the air. This process is known as evaporation.
Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.

The order from greatest energy of particles to least energy of particles is: Plasma > Gas > Liquid > Solid.
the particles are given more energy.

Liquid
The energy is slow ; particles are close together
The type of particles in a liquid are atoms and molecules that are in constant motion and flow past each other. These particles are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid, but instead have enough kinetic energy to move freely within the liquid.

Particles in a liquid have only a small amount of space between each other. They have more energy then solid particles but less energy than gas particles. Particles in liquid roll over each other this is what causes water to flow.
During evaporation, particles of a liquid gain enough energy to escape from the surface and become vapor or gas. As the liquid evaporates, the average kinetic energy of the remaining particles decreases, leading to cooling of the liquid and its surroundings.
