The energy of this motion is
A.
potential energy and is present in only the liquid and gas states.
B.
potential energy and is present in all states of matter.
C.
kinetic energy and is present in only the liquid and gas states.
D.
kinetic energy and is present in all states of matter.

Answer 1

Kinetic energy and is present in only the liquid and gas states

Answer 2

D. Kinetic energy and is present in all states of matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, all particles of matter are in constant, random motion.

The energy of this motion is kinetic energy.
