Do the particles that make up a solid move slower or faster than the particles that make up a gas?

Particles in a solid are held together by tight bonds, therefore only vibrate in a fixed position. Gases, however have a weaker or no bonds at all so the particles move about more about more freely.

Does warm air or cold air make gas particles move apart?
Gas particles, like the particles in all states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are always moving apart and colloding with other particles. Gas particles have more space in between and tend to move faster than the particles in a solid or liquid state. Temperature only affects how fast a particle moves, therefore warm air makes gas particles move faster and cold air makes gas particles move slower.
What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?
The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster
What does a solid turn into when its heated?
When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.
Does salt make snow melt slower?
No, it makes it melt faster.
What does temperature have to do with the motion of particles that make up a substance?
The warmer the temperature, the faster the particles move.

Why can't you compress a solid?
Because a solid allready has a form that is why you cant compress it
Heat is what in motion?
As energy is added to a substance, the particles that make up the substance vibrate faster. This is what causes substances to change state (solid to liquid to gas). As the particles move faster, the structure changes.
Does the ingredients in milk make it freeze faster or slower?
faster
What will make an ice melt the fastest salt or sugar?
Sugar is made up of Sucrose..... That type of element also has a substance called sodium. Sodium has a chemical that is forced to make solid particles in ice move faster. But because sugar does not have as much sodium as salt, it melts ice slower.
What happeneds to the speed of particles that are heavier?
Due to "inertia" and the nature of "mass", heavier particles require more energy to change their velocity. It takes more energy to make them move faster or slower or to change their "direction".
If you are wearing football pads will you go faster or slower?
It will not make you go faster. It can make you go slower, Unless you are Strong enough that if won't hinder your speed.
Why does blowing on soup make it cool off faster?
The steam you see coming off a hot bowl of soup are the hotter, faster moving particles evaporating into the air, leaving slower-moving, cool particles behind. But these evaporated particles form a little cloud of vapor above the soup, which prevents the other hot particles from evaporating. When you blow on your soup, you blow away the vapor. This allows more of the faster moving particles to evaporate.
How can things change?
it can change them between states of Matter: Gas,Liquid,Solid and it can make the materials particles move faster (higher temperature).

How does the energy of particles differ in solid?
All matter is makes up moving particles. The particles of a solid make small movements rapidly in a fixed position. The particles of a liquid move faster and can slide over each other. Gas particles move very fast and are far apart. Good luck on ur test!! Have a lovely day!
