Question

section: changes of state (pp. 114 - 119) energy and changes of state 1. which of the following have the most energy? a. particles in steam b. particles in liquid water c. particles in ice d. particles in freezing water

Explanation:

The energy of particles is related to their state of matter and temperature. Steam is in the gaseous state and has higher kinetic energy due to its higher temperature compared to liquid water, ice, and freezing water. Particles in a gas move more freely and quickly than those in liquids or solids.

Answer:

A. particles in steam
