Quick Check: Thermal Energy and Kinetic Molecular Theory

Which list correctly orders the states of matter from least to most kinetic energy?

A. liquid, gas, solid
B. gas, liquid, solid
C. liquid, solid, gas
D. solid, liquid, gas



Answer :

Final answer:

The least to most kinetic energy order of states of matter is solid, liquid, gas.


Explanation:

The correct order from least to most kinetic energy for the states of matter is:

  1. solid
  2. liquid
  3. gas

This ranking is based on the average kinetic energy of the atoms in each state; solid molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy, while gas molecules have the most.
