The particles in the water have the most kinetic energy in **steam rising from a kettle**.
As water is heated and turns into steam, the particles gain energy and move more rapidly compared to the particles in ice or refrigerated water. In a heated swimming pool, while the water is warmer than in a glass of refrigerated water, the steam is at an even higher temperature, indicating that the particles are moving at a much greater speed.
