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).
The molecules with the least kinetic energy are in solid form, followed by liquid, and then gas with the greatest kinetic energy.
A fixed amount of water tends to have the least amount of kinetic energy in its solid state, as the molecules are tightly packed and have limited movement. This is why ice has lower kinetic energy compared to liquid water or water vapor.
The four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid, particles have the least kinetic energy and are tightly packed together. In a plasma, particles have the most kinetic energy and are ionized.
Gas > Liquid > Solid. Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy and move freely, while liquid particles have less kinetic energy and move more slowly. Solid particles have the least kinetic energy and vibrate in place.
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.
The molecules with the least kinetic energy are in solid form, followed by liquid, and then gas with the greatest kinetic energy.
By looking at the states of matter ( solid ,liquid or gas) we can determine that a giben sample will have how much energy. Molecules in solid have least kinetic energy. Molecules in vapor (gas) have highest kinetic energy. Liquids have moderatee kinetic energy.

Molecules move fastest in a gas, then in a liquid, and slowest in a solid. In a gas, molecules have high kinetic energy and move freely, while in a liquid, molecules can slide past each other but are still somewhat restricted. In a solid, molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions.
Molecules move slowest in solids, where they have the least amount of kinetic energy due to tightly packed arrangement. Liquids have higher molecular motion compared to solids, while gases have the fastest movement due to increased spacing and higher kinetic energy.
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.
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.
When they are the coldest that they can be is when they have the least energy. Absolute Zero is when molecules have no energy and are not moving, but it is impossible to get to that degree.
