In which state of matter do the constituent particles have the minimum energy? Justify.

Solution

The force of attraction between solid particles is very strong and they are tightly packed.
As a result the kinetic energy of the particles is very less.
They only possess vibrational motion in which the particles vibrate at their mean position.
So the least energy particles are found in solids.
