Kinetic energy does not depend upon the phase of matter; it depends upon the amount of matter, and the speed with which it is moving. One pound of matter, whether gas, liquid, or solid, moving at a specific speed, has the same kinetic energy.

Explain by kinetic molecular theory why ice is more dense then water vapours?

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.

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.


When you add heat to a solid does its kinetic energy rise?

Yes the kinetic energy of solid increases resulting in increase of vibration of atoms in their mean positions
