The molecules in a gas have high _______ .

Open in App

Solution

Kinetic energy:
It is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
So anything which moves has kinetic energy.
Order of kinetic energy:
Gas > Liquid > Solid

Gaseous molecules have a negligible force of attraction between the molecules.
As a result, they have a large intermolecular distance.
So they are free to move randomly in any direction resulting in high kinetic energy.

Hence, the molecules in a gas have high kinetic energy.
