Question

isaac, liliana, and janette are studying for their upcoming physics exam. they are discussing the behavior of particles in different states of matter. they learned that the energy of particles varies in each state. in their discussion, they are trying to determine in which state of matter the particles possess the highest energy. can you help them?

Explanation:

Particles in plasma have the highest energy. Plasma is a state of matter where particles are highly energized, often ionized (have lost or gained electrons), and move freely with a lot of kinetic energy. In solids, particles are closely packed and have the least energy (vibrate in fixed positions). In liquids, particles have more energy than solids (can move around each other). In gases, particles have more energy than liquids (move freely). But plasma has even higher energy as it's often at very high temperatures (like in stars) or under extreme conditions where particles have a lot of kinetic and potential energy due to ionization and high - speed movement.

Answer:

plasma
