Particles in a liquid have more ____________energy than particles in solid.

Open in App

Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy of a molecule associated with the motion of its constituent particles.
Particles of solid cannot move around because they are closely packed, hence they have least kinetic energy.
Particles in liquid are less closely packed, so they move around and hence have high kinetic energy.
The particles in liquid have more kinetic energy than solid.
