Question

Gaseous states have the lowest kinetic energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Kinetic energy for the gaseous state:

• Particles in a gaseous state are far away from each other and they have the highest kinetic energy among all the states of matter.
• The molecules in gases have more space between them and they observe less intermolecular force on each other and move with higher velocity and due to higher velocity in the process higher energy.
• Therefore, the gaseous states have the highest kinetic energy.

Hence the given statement is false.
