How does the kinetic energy of a substance's particles in the solid phase compare to their kinetic energy in the liquid phase?

The kinetic energy of the solid and liquid phases is the same.
The particles have more kinetic energy in the solid phase than they do in the liquid phase.
The particles have less kinetic energy in the solid phase than they do in the liquid phase.
The kinetic energy of the substance's particles will depend on the volume of the substance.

I know that kinetic energy that is in motion,

supernova_sonntag · Answer

Particles in a solid do not move around as much as the particles in liquids or gasses. They vibrate in place, while particles in a liquid slide past one another. Since kinetic energy is the energy of motion, we can see that particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than those in a solid. (& vice versa)
