Question

Which state of water has the maximum amount of energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Solid state of water has the maximum amount of energy

Answer 2

The gaseous state of water has the maximum amount of energy.

• In Solids, chemical bonds are stronger than the KINETIC ENERGY of the molecules. The particles have fixed positions in the crystal lattice, and they are only able to move to-and-fro in their mean positions.

• In Liquids, atoms or molecules have enough kinetic energy to overcome the chemical bonds that held them in their crystal lattice and move independently, yet they don't have enough energy to separate completely from other atom. The particles in the liquids are in a constant random motion and they constantly move around in the space in the liquids.

• In Gases, molecules have so much kinetic energy that they fly off in all directions and often repeatedly collide and bounce off of other molecules.
