Question 1 • 25-26 CHEMISTRY IN THE EARTH SYSTEM S1

Which best describe the kinetic energy of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases? Check all that apply.Particles in solids have low kinetic energy.Particles in solids have high kinetic energy.Particles in liquids have moderate kinetic energy.Particles in liquids have low kinetic energy.Particles in gases have high kinetic energy.

Answer
A
Particles in solids have low kinetic energy.
B
Particles in solids have high kinetic energy.
C
Particles in liquids have moderate kinetic energy.
D
Particles in liquids have low kinetic energy.
E
Particles in gases have high kinetic energy.

Explanation

Particles in solids mainly vibrate in fixed positions, so they have relatively low kinetic energy. Particles in liquids move around one another and have moderate kinetic energy, while particles in gases move freely and rapidly, giving them high kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct choices are “Particles in solids have low kinetic energy,” “Particles in liquids have moderate kinetic energy,” and “Particles in gases have high kinetic energy.”
