E(gas) > E(liquid) > E(solid)
That is, the solid has lowest energy, and has has highest energy.
Because you have to put energy into the material to melt and then boil it.
In more detail...
First the material is solid, in a nice stable low energy state. By heating the material you are transferring energy into the material. When you have put enough energy in you disrupt the van der waals forces and the material melts. Now you have a liquid which must be a higher energy because you put energy into it to melt it.
Similarly, to boil the liquid you must add sufficient energy so the molecules can completely overcome the van der Waals forces to enter the gas phase.

What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
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.
What has to happen in order for a gas to become a liquid in terms of energy?
Energy must be released-- A gas has a high amount of energy with it's atoms speeding around inside of it, a liquid has less energy, and a solid has the least. energy.
Do molecules have least kinetic energy in liquid phase?
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).
Does solid have more energy than liquid?
ANSWERI don't understand how much energy is in a solid. Will someone please give an answer to this question...HOW MUCH ENERGY IS IN A SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS???Well actually solid has the least, liquid has moderate and gas is fast.
In what state of matter atoms move the slowest?
Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy.
What is phase energy?
The amount of excitement in a solid, liquid ar gas. For example a gas has the most amount of energy and solids have the least amount.
What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
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.
Which material would require the least amount of energy to change 1kg from a solid to a liquid ethanol aluminum propane or water?
ethanol

Energy must be released-- A gas has a high amount of energy with it's atoms speeding around inside of it, a liquid has less energy, and a solid has the least. energy.
What does latent heat of fusion represents?
The amount of heat energy required to solid substance solid into a liquid state without any changes in temperature ______________________ Apex: The amount of energy required to turn a mole of a solid into a liquid
What happened to energy when covnersion of solid h20 to liquid h20?
The amount of energy increased.
Energy required to melt a solid into a liquid?
Energy is given off when cooling from a liquid to a solid. How much depends on the elements involved and the amount.
When the solid and and liquid are in equilibrium which phase contains greater amount of energy?
the liquid (in science) always or usually has more energy.
Do you need the same amount of energy to change a liquid to a gas as you do to change a solid to a liquid?
No, totally independent
Do molecules have least kinetic energy in liquid phase?
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).
