Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which state of matter has the highest kinetic energy?
  • Step 1: Understand what kinetic energy is. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
  • Step 2: Learn about the states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
  • Step 3: Know that in solids, particles are tightly packed and move very little, so they have low kinetic energy.
  • Step 4: In liquids, particles are more spread out and can move around each other, giving them more kinetic energy than solids.
  • Step 5: In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, which means they have even higher kinetic energy than liquids.
  • Step 6: Plasma is a state of matter where gas particles are ionized, meaning they have lost or gained electrons. This allows them to move very freely and at very high speeds.
  • Step 7: Compare the kinetic energy of all states: solids have the least, liquids are next, gases have more, and plasma has the most.
