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.
