Question

The amount of kinetic energy possessed by the molecules of the three states of matter is the same.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Solids are having the lowest ever kinetic energy because they are tightly packed and oscillate(vibrate) about a fixed point.
2. Liquids are having comparatively higher kinetic energy because the particles slide one over another.
3. Gases are having the maximum kinetic energy which is why they float in the air.
4. Thus, The amount of kinetic energy possessed by the molecules of the three states of matter is different.
5. Hence, this statement is false.
