Question

temperature and thermal energy
instruction active
comparing potential energy
which has the least potential energy?
gases
liquids
solids

Explanation:

Potential energy in substances is related to the intermolecular forces and arrangement. In solids, particles are closely packed with strong intermolecular forces, limiting their movement. This results in lower potential energy compared to liquids (where particles have more freedom) and gases (where particles have the most freedom and highest potential energy due to weak intermolecular forces and large distances between particles).

Answer:

solids
