Which physical state of matter has the most kinetic energy? A. plasma B. gas C. liquid D. solid (Can not be D)

Falconmaster:

Id say it is A an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions resulting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures (as in the upper atmosphere and in fluorescent lamps) or at very high temperatures (as in stars and nuclear fusion reactors). an analogous substance consisting of mobile charged particles (such as a molten salt or the electrons within a metal). "resulting in more or less no overall electric charge" Electric = Energy

Mal87:

Ty

Falconmaster:

Would I be correct @Shadow ?

Shadow:

Yes

Shadow:

Though if you read here: https://www.quora.com/What-state-of-matter-has-the-greatest-amount-of-average-kinetic-energy-How It is not because Electric = Energy. It's due to the lack of structure in the fourth state of matter, which means the electrons and ions can achieve high velocities, as opposed to a solid or even a gas.

Mal87:

Will do (:

Falconmaster:

Welp i should stop thinking that they are the same then. Anywho at least it was right
