Question

At a given temperature in any gas, liquid or solid, there are particles with different amounts of-

A.

Electrical energy

B.

Kinetic energy

C.

Potential energy

D.

Mechanical energy

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Kinetic energy.
· At any given temperature in a gas, liquid, or solid, particles (atoms or molecules) possess different amounts of kinetic energy.
· The temperature of a substance is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its particles.
· However, not all particles have the same kinetic energy; there is a distribution of kinetic energies among the particles, with some moving faster and others slower.
· The distribution of kinetic energy among particles follows the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in gases, which explains that some particles have higher and some have lower kinetic energy than the average.
· In solids and liquids, the particles vibrate or move around, but their kinetic energy still varies due to molecular interactions.
Additional Information:
· Electrical energy : This refers to the energy caused by electric charges, which is not the dominant factor here.
· Potential energy : This is energy stored due to the position of particles or due to intermolecular forces, not the primary focus in this context.
· Mechanical energy : This is a combination of kinetic and potential energy, but the specific focus here is on kinetic energy.
