kinetic energy.
In a solid, the atoms are arranged in a lattice and can only vibrate about their equilibrium positions. The energy of motion of the atoms or molecules in a solid is called: potential energy.
The energy of motion of the atoms or molecules in a liquid is called: kinetic energy.
The energy of motion of the atoms or molecules in a gas is called: translational kinetic energy.

Q: What is the energy of matter in motion called?

Q: What is the energy all objects have due to the motion of their atoms or molecules?
A: The energy all objects have due to the motion of their atoms or molecules is called kinetic energy.
Q: What is the energy between atoms and molecules?
A: The energy between atoms and molecules is the potential energy that exists between them due to their electrostatic attraction or repulsion.
Q: What’s the kinetic theory of matter?
A: In the kinetic theory of matter, particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) are in constant motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of their container. The kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to their temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move and the more energy they have.
