Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The average kinetic energy is the measure of how freely the molecules of a substance moves relative to the other molecules within the substance. Gas and liquids are together termed fluids, but the molecules of a gas naturally has more more average kinetic energy that that of a liquid, if they are kept at the same temperature. This explains why gases are easy to expand, and have to be confined by a container. So the particles of a gas has more kinetic energy that that of a liquid even if they are kept at the same temperature.
