Question

The kinetic energy of molecules is______________in solids and maximum in gases.


Open in App
Solution

Kinetic energy:

  • The kinetic energy of molecules is least in solids and maximum in gases.
  • So, the frequency of collision will also be maximum for gases.
  • Hence reaction will be facilitated most when the reactants are in the gaseous state.

Therefore, The kinetic energy of molecules is least in solids and maximum in gases.
