Why does liquid move faster than solid?
because you can pour a liquid but not a solid so therefore a liquid moves faster than a solid to get to the object it is required to get to.
What moves faster in solids than in liquid?
Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.
Do molecules move faster in a gas or a solid?
Basically, a solid is quite stationary. It doesn't move very much. Liquids have more energy, meaning that the particles move a lot freer. In a gas the particles are a lot further apart, meaning that they have a LOT more space to move. Solids can be made to move faster if you give it enough energy (ie, heat). The atoms then start vibrating faster, making spaces between the atoms. This is what happens (basically) when you melt something.
How is the speed of a wave different based on whether it is traveling through a solid a liquid or a gas?
A wave will move faster through a liquid than a gas and even faster through a solid than a liquid. This is due to that the particles are closser together in a liquid than a gas and even closer in a solid than a liquid so the wave has a tighter medium to travel through or less of a "jump" between the atoms.
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.

What in solids move faster than in liquids?
Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.
Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?
it is true atoms in a gas move faster than a liquid and atoms in a liquid move faster than atoms in a solid
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.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the thermal energy of a solid increases?
they move faster, eventually changing the solid into a liquid

Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Usually.
Do molecules move faster in a liquid?
Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)
Does sound move faster through a liquid than through a solid?
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
