Solids have a structured set of molecules, usually thought of in rows and columns, tightly packed. Liquids are similar to solids but there is much more freedom for the particles, and the vibrations are much more noticeable (relatively).
Gasses have no structured formations, the particles are totally free to roam around the volume the gas is in.

What are the characteristics of a solid matter?
in a solid, the molecules are more tightly packed than in a liquid, and they have very little room to move around. in a liquid, the molecules are a bit more free to move around, but not as much as in a gas. you freeze a liquid to make it a solid, and you heat up a solid to make it a liquid, or even a gas. i hope this was helpful enough.
How do the properties of a gas differ from the properties of a liquid or solid?
they differ from their molecules when gas molecules have lots of energy ,liquid has less energy, and gas has the smallest amount of energy.
What do molecules move faster in a solid liquid or gas?
Gas...The molecules are less tightly packed together like in a solid and liquid so they're free to move. They seem more energized, they're faster.
Are molecules close together in a liquid?
molecules are closer together in a liquid than a gas but further apart than in a solid
What makes gas molecules different from liquid and solid molecules?
Mainly their weak intermolecular forces.
What are some characteristics of matter?
Solid, liquid, and gas.
What happens when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?
Well solid to liquid the heat speeds up the molecules and same for liquid to gas but from liquid to solid the coolant slows the molecules down
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?
Liquid to gas
What has virtually no bonds between molecules a solid a liquid or gas?
liquid
What characteristics do solutions have?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture that can be a liquid,solid, or gas depending on the solvent's state. It also has a solute that makes it up also. The various types of solutions are gas in gas, gas in liquid, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid, liquid in solid and solid in solid.
When you heat a solid and it melts becomes a?
It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.
What is the relationship of molecules in a solid liquid and a gas?
gas- the molecules are farther apart since there is more space in the air solid- the molecules are closer together since it is in one specific area Liquid- the molecules can be farther or closer together depending on the volume of the liquid
How the particles in matter move?
It depends which state of matter you are referring to -- solid, liquid or gas. Solid: molecules vibrate in place Liquid: molecules are moving faster than a solid but slower than a gas. gas: molecules are moving at a high speed hope this helps :)
What are the similarities of a solid liquid and gas?
they all contain molecules
What are the characteristics of a solid matter?
in a solid, the molecules are more tightly packed than in a liquid, and they have very little room to move around. in a liquid, the molecules are a bit more free to move around, but not as much as in a gas. you freeze a liquid to make it a solid, and you heat up a solid to make it a liquid, or even a gas. i hope this was helpful enough.
Are The molecules of a gas much farther apart than molecules in a solid and liquid?
yes they are
Explain the difference between sound traveling through an solid liquid or gas?
sound can travel past in solid because the molecules of solid is tightly closed and next liquid the molecules of liquid not so far away to each other and the slower is gas but it can travel longer than solid and liquid because the molecules in gas are far way and can move freely that can travel longer...
