Question

Describe energy content in the three states of matter

Answer 1

Explanation:

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

Answer 2

When energy is added to or taken away from matter, it changes physically as it transitions between states.

Energy content in the three states of matter:

• Solids vibrate in place and have the least kinetic energy since they are closely packed.
• Particles in liquids slide past one another because of the relative higher kinetic energy of the liquid.
• Gases float in the air because they have the maximum kinetic energy.
• For instance, when liquid water is heated, it transforms into steam or vapor (a gas).
• And when you take the energy out of liquid water, it turns into ice (a solid).
• The highest energetic state of matter is gas.
• There isn't much room for molecules to move in a solid.
• In a solid, the attraction forces hold the particles close enough to one another to prevent them from moving past one another.
• Their kinetic energy is connected to their vibration.
• The particles in the solid vibrate stationary.
