Question

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

  1. Solid
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas
  4. All of the above

hintHint:

In gases molecules keep moving randomly

The correct answer is: Gas


    Due to constant random motion of molecules of gases they have high kinetic energy rather than high potential energy which is by virtue of a molecule's position

    In which of the following physical states the intermolecular space is the highest?

    Inter molecular is the force of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles(atoms, ions, molecules). These forces are weak compared to the other , such as covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule. The order of force of inter molecular attraction: solids > liquids > gases

    What kind of energy is associated with the motion and speed of the particles constituting a substance?

    • Matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules or ions)
    • These particles are in constant, random motion and possess kinetic energy.
    • The particles also have potential energy due to inter- molecular attractions.
    • The average kinetic energy increases as the temperature increases.
    • If two particles of different masses are moving at the same speed, the heavier particle will have higher kinetic energy.
    • Similarly, for particles of the same mass moving at the different speeds, the faster one will possess the greater kinetic energy.

    The molecules of which form of water have the highest kinetic energy?

    Out of the three states of matter,  gaseous phase has always maximum kinetic energy...so water molecules also possess the highest kinetic energy in gaseous phase that is in the steam form. We have to give energy to liquid water to make water vapour and this energy goes as kinetic energy of molecules.
    And also we can observe that gas occupy all the volume available to it. This is also possible due to kinetic energy.
