Among the states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—gases typically have the most energy. In gases, the particles are far apart and move freely and rapidly, resulting in higher kinetic energy compared to solids and liquids, where particles are more closely packed and have less freedom to move. A mixture is not a state of matter in itself, as it can contain different states, but in general terms, gases possess the highest energy among the defined states of matter.
