Question

which of these would have particles with the highest kinetic energy?
ice
water
water vapor

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of particles is related to their state of matter. In solids (like ice), particles are closely packed and have limited movement. In liquids (like water), particles have more freedom to move compared to solids. In gases (like water vapor), particles move freely and rapidly. The more freely particles move, the higher their kinetic energy.

Answer:

water vapor
