Which state has the most kinetic energy?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The molecules in the gaseous state have the maximum kinetic energy, while those in the solid state have the lowest.
  2. The average kinetic energy K.E of the molecules depends upon temperature.K.E=32RT, where R is gas constant.
  3. The energy that is proportional to the mass (m) and the square of its velocity v is known as kinetic energy.
  4. Its formula is written as: kineticenergyK.E.=12mv2
  5. Its unit is joules.
