The gas state has the most energy out of all three states because of how freely the molecules are moving, and able to move. In a solid, the molecules are forced together, with minimal space to move. In a liquid, the molecules are able to move a considerable space, but not as freely as gas. This answer is based on the "basic" three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. There are other states of matter, and a plasma is a state of extreme energy. For instance, a star like our sun is a big ball of plasma. And plasma is a collection of atoms that have so much thermal energy that all their electrons have been "boiled off" due to extreme heating. Heat a solid, it liquifies (sublimatin excepted). Heat a liquid, it boils. Heat a gas sufficiently, and it will shed its electrons and become a superheated - and highly energetic - substance. It will become a plasma. Note that there are other states of matter, but they don't involve extremely high energies.
plasma is the most energy. The energy levels go from solid to liquid to gas to plasma. Each of the first three states of matter could become each other instantly but to become a plasma matter first must become a gas. Gases solids and liquids
A plasma is superheated material, and it has a lot of energy in it. We know of solids, liquids and gases, and plasma is a state of matter above a gas. As plasma is superheated, it has a tremendous amount of thermal energy, and this may be the state of matter that has the most potential energy. A plasma of a given material will have more potential energy than a gas, a liquid or a solid form of that material.
The gas state has the greatest amount of energy.

The gaseous state.
Gas state.
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.

Gas is the state of matter with the most space between molecules. The 4th and most abundant state of matter 'Plasma' can be similarly diffuse, mainly as the electrons and protons in space not bound into molecular gas.
Gas because it spreads out and all the atoms are moving around.
Water as steam in the gas state has the most energy compared to water in the liquid or solid state.
The gas state has the most energy out of all three states because of how freely the molecules are moving, and able to move.
The molecules of a hot gas have the most kinetic energy. The molecules of a hot solid will contain the most energy per volume.
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.
In the gaseous state of matter, the molecules of a substance are most free to move about as there is little attractive forces between the neighboring molecules.

Plasma, then gases.
The physical state, or phase, that has the greatest kinetic energy is gas. In a gas, the molecules are more free to move and they move more rapidly than in the other phases, and it is this motion that constitutes kinetic energy.
