Question

In which of the following states the potential energy is the highest?

  1. Solid
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas
  4. Bose-Einstein Condensate

Hint:

Potential energy is highest in solids due to more force of attraction

The correct answer is: Solid


    The molecules of solid do not move randomly as in liquids and gases due to more attraction and less space and hence they posses more potential energy
