Answer:

Tiny particles in solids, liquids and gases are always in motion. It is the motion of particles that creates a form of energy called thermal (heat) energy that is present in all matter. The particles in solids are tightly packed and can only vibrate. Matter in its solid state has the lowest amount of thermal energy (for that type of matter). Because solids have less thermal energy than liquids or gasses, the atoms in their solid state move very little.

Step-by-step explanation:

So yes, chocolate has VERY low thermal energy
