If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).

What are the four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy?

Solid, liquid, gas, plasma - in that order.


What state of matter has the least kinetic energy?

The state of matter than has the least internal kinetic energy (the kinetic energy of all the internal particles relative to the center of mass of the system), or the least internal + macrosopic kinetic energy, is the same state as "Which state of matter has the least thermal energy?". (hint: it's not the gaseous state). However, if you are asking what state of matter has the least macroscopic kinetic energy: Every state of matter can have systems with zero macroscopic kinetic energy. So none of them (or perhaps all of them) have the "least" kinetic energy.


In what state does a fixed amount of water have the least amount of kinetic energy?

Water has the least amount of kinetic energy as a solid.


List all 5 states of matter in order of the highest kinetic energy to the lowest kinetic energy?

First, Gas- It has the most kinetic energy because it moves more freely. Second, liquid - It has okay kinetic energy. Then its Solid with the least kinetic energy.HOPE IT HELPED.


Define kinetic energy in terms of temperature?

The reverse is usually done .... Define temperature in terms of KE. The temperature of a body is proportional the the average Kinetic Energy of the particles (molecules or atoms) that make up the body. Can't be done the other way because a car traveling at 60 miles per hour has Kinetic energy which has nothing to do with temperature. The car doesn't care if is 100 degrees or 20 degrees.

What happens to the volume of gas or liquid s the temperature of a gas or liquid increases?

When heat is added to the system, we increase the average kinetic energy of molecules making up that system. When we increase the temperature, molecules undergo more rapid collisions and therefore takes up more volume. Molecules in solid state of matter has the least kinetic energy.

What type of physical change is it when ice melts?

Frozen water (ice) is a solid. when ice melts the water molecules gain kinetic energy and are able to break free of their rigid hydrogen bonding. This is the definition of a liquid!!! The order goes from most to least kinetic energy; plasma, gas, liquid, solid, absolute zero. Before the ice is to be melted that is called potential energy.
