Can a molecule move and thus take the form of solids liquids or gases?

The difference is that gases are just like air, a lot of free room, therefore the molecules move around, water/liquid is a little more condensed so molecules move less than gases, but more than solids, solids are completely compact so molecules have very little movement, but are always moving, the only thing that can make them stop moving is if the temperature reached ABSOLUTE ZERO

Solids form liquids and then gases with the addition of heat?
yes
When gases in the atmosphere form a blanket around the earth to hold heat in?
not liquids or solids?
Are liquids and gases not materials?
Solids, liquids, and gases are all forms of materials. Only solids are used as building materials (although even then, one could argue, cement is poured in liquid form before it solidifies).
How can shape and volume classify materials?
- solids have a shape and a volume- liquids have a volume but not a shape- gases haven't shape or volume (in free form)
Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?
No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.
Solids form liquids and then gases with the addition of heat?
yes
How is energy involved in changing form among solids liquids and gases?
Because there is a freezing point, a boiling point so Solids can change into liquids and liquids can change into gases and all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not liquids or solids?
What can form a mixture?
A mixture is formed from substances which doesn't react.
Are liquids and gases not materials?
Solids, liquids, and gases are all forms of materials. Only solids are used as building materials (although even then, one could argue, cement is poured in liquid form before it solidifies).
Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
Do solids liquids and gases form a mixture?
No it does not make a mixture. The water eventually evaporates and the gas does not . So there for it is not a mixture.
Why are solids less effected by pressure than liquids or gases?
Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
What do solids and gases share that they don't have in common with liquids?
The can all change from one form to another by certain chemicals or mixtures.
In what way are solids different from liquids?
liquids don't have a particular form solids do and take up a shape liquids do not.
Is light is an example of matter?
Light is a form a energy. It is not an 'example' of matter. Matter only consists of solids, liquids and gases, and plasma.
Why do you keep liquids in containers?
Because liquids has not a form (as solids).
