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.

What heppens to matter when you add thermal energy?
When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.
In which state of matter would a substance have the least thermal energy?
The solid state.
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.
How can removing thermal energy affect the state of matter?
cause you are also changing other types of energy?
What is the relationship between thermal energy and intermolecular forces in each state of matter?
i like gummy bears
How can a liquid expand without changing state?
A liquid can expand when thermal energy is absorbed which is known as thermal expansion, but the thermal energy is not enough to change the liquid's state. When there is enough thermal energy, the liquid may change to a gas if the particles move fast enough to escape the liquid or it may change to a solid if the thermal energy is released from the matter.
Does thermal energy can cause matter to experience a change of phase why?
Yes because when the thermal energy of a substance increases, it's particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases, it's particles melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than it's solid state

The addition or loss of thermal energy changes the arrangement of the particles during what?
a change of state
How are changes in thermal energy and state of matter realted?
If the thermal energy is higher, then the particles in the object move faster and want to get away from each other because it is so hot, thus, its a gas. If the thermal energy is lower, then the particles in the object move slower and form a solid shape, like they are huddling together, thus, its a solid. If the thermal energy is right in between the two above, then it is a liquid. A great example is H2O, it is the base measurement of density, when its thermal energy rises, it turns into water vapor, if its thermal energy lowers, it turns to ice.
In which state of matter would a substance have the least thermal energy?
The solid state.
State of matter do particles have most kinetic energy?
Gas.
Which state of matter's particles have the most kinetic energy?
Gases
What state of matter has the least kinetic energy?

What is the phase of matter that is made of high energy particles?
The phase with particles having highest energy is Plasma(super heated gas) , it is 4th state of matter, the sun is plasma.
A person places a metal spoon that is at room temperature into a bowl of hot soup how will the thermal energies of the spoon and the soup be affected?
the spoon will increase in thermal energy, and the soup will decrease in thermal energy. Reason: Thermal energy is the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object. When the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases enough, it melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than its solid state. If the liquid continues to gain thermal energy, its particles speed up more. When the particles of a liquid have absorbed enough energy to escape the forces between them, the liquid becomes a gas. The substance has undergone another phase change. As the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object increases, the object gets warmer. Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one.
What state of matter does a liquids particles have enough energy to escape the attractive forces of the other particles in the liquid?
Gas
