Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.
The solid state.
The thermal energy in air could be decreased by cooling it by contact with a chill plate; or if the air pressure were decreased, the frequency of collision would decrease.
Plasma's are the most energetic states we have discovered but the answer you are probably looking for is when the matter is in a gaseous state, that is when the atoms have dissociated from each other almost completely. But in plasma the particles that make up an atom have dissociated.
Electrical energy enters the hair dryer and is converted into kinrtic energy as a smallelectric motor spins a fan blade. Electrical enrgy is also converted into thermal energy in a grid of wires that heat up. The fan forces air across the hot wires , and hot air blows out of the nozzle of the hair dryer. You can hear the sound energy that comes out. In other words in is converted from Electrical energy -to- Kinetic energy and, Electrical energy -to- Thermal energy and, last but not least, Sound energy!
Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.

I would suggest looking for EnergyStar rated appliances. These appliances can use up to 30% less energy than other appliances. Here's some info from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Star

There are many appliances made these days that conserve energy. I would check out energystar.org for the latest information.

Solids have the least, then liquids, then gases. This is because a lot of thermal energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding substances together, In a solid, the bonds are strong, however thermal energy is used to patrially break these bonds, melting the solid. The liquid then needs further thermal energy to completely break these bonds to form gases

Yes, of course, in an amount corresponding to E = mc2. There will also be some thermal energy, assuming your body is not at absolute zero, and at least initially some chemical energy as well.
I'd like to know who told you that so that I can beat them severely about the head and shoulders with a wet noodle. It's not true.
