Kinetic energy of molecules is very high in ____________ state of matter.

Open in App

Solution

In gaseous state, particles are present far away from each other.
Kinetic energy of particles is very high. The particles move around freely colliding with each other and also with the walls of the container.
Therefore, Kinetic energy of molecules is very high in Gaseous state of matter.
