No, they do not move at the same speed because gases have their own masses and densities which cause them to move at different speeds. For instance, a gas with a smaller mass and density will move faster than a gas with larger mass and density.

∙ 13y agoNo, they have a distribution of speeds in all directions called the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution. The peak of this distribution ( the most likely speed) will increase with increasing temperature (molecules moving faster as they get hotter), but because of the distribution, some molecules will have a much greater speed than most of the population at any given temperature. This explains evaporation (or why puddles disappear without the water needing to get to the temperature of boiling water)

What effect does the speed of molecules have of matter?
The speed of the particles in a substance changes when the temperature changes. Heating the substance causes the particles to speed up, while cooling causes the particles to slow down.
Unlike in an ideal gas in a real gas A. all particles move in the same direction B. all particles have the same kinetic energy C. the particles cannot diffuse D. particles exert attractive forces?
D. particles exert attractive forces on each other
What is the name of machine used for making subatomic particles move faster?
Particle accelerator
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Which subatomic particle move the fastest?
Yes, particles in a liquid do move faster than particles in a solid.Here is a list from slowest moving particles to fastest:solids (compact particles with little movement: vibrations.)liquids (lightly compact particles, which move around freely over one another.)gasses (particles are not compact and spread evenly apart as far as possible.)plasma (particle much like gas, more extreme. Plasma particles only occur at very high temperatures.)
Do larger particles move faster than smaller ones?
because they have a larger mass and require a greater energy to move at the same speed. KE=1/2mv2 where m is mass, v is velocity and KE is kinetic energy so for the same energy if the mass is doubled then v2 is halved, resulting in a slower speed
Do particles in a liquid move at the same pace?
No, but if the system is at equilibrium the speeds of all the molecules (assuming an ideal liquid) will be characterized by a Boltzman distribution.
Is that true that the more energy of a photon the bigger the mass it possesses?
No, all photons have the same mass. Photons are massless (i.e. zero). All the energy in a photon is in its momentum, but increasing its momentum does not change it speed which is always "the speed of light". All massless particles always move at the speed of light.

The speed of the particles in a substance changes when the temperature changes. Heating the substance causes the particles to speed up, while cooling causes the particles to slow down.

D. particles exert attractive forces on each other
What are the six important points to particle theory of matter?
1.All matter is made up of particles. 2.All particles have spaces between them. 3.Particles are always in motion. 4.Particles have attraction forces. 5.Temperature effects the speed in which particles move. 6.All particles of one substance are identical
Do particles in sold ice move slower than particles in liquid water?
Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.
How do the speeds of various electromagnetic waves compare?
They all move at the speed of light. Wavelength varies, but the speed is the same.
Why is it useful to find the average speed of a object?
Most things don't move with the same speed at all times
Do the particles in solid ice move slower than the particles in liquid?
Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.
How do particles move around?
After you stroke a tuning fork, all the particles move back and forth. If you play a piano, particles of the wire move back and forth.
Do all galaxies move at the same speed?
As with all space questions about speed, it all depends on your point of reference. Within the Milky Way, the orbital rate of the stars increase as you move away from the centre of the galaxy.
