Which of these would have particles with the highest kinetic energy? Ice Water Water Vapor

The correct answer is water vapor.

Explanation: In evaporation of water, particles with high kinetic energy tend to leave the water surface. Because high kinetic energy molecules move faster than others breaking bonds with other molecules. And escape the water to air in form of vapors. While the ice water contain molecules with low kinetic energy.

Answer: Water Vapor

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and have low kinetic energy.

For example : Ice

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another and hence have low kinetic energy.

For example : water

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. The molecules are not closely packed and they can move freely from one place to another and spread out and thus have high kinetic energy.

For example : water vapor
