Question

The kinetic energy of molecules in a solid is __________ whereas the kinetic energy of molecules in a gas is __________ *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.

Answer 2

The kinetic energy of molecules in a solid is smallest whereas the kinetic energy of molecules in a gas is highest.
