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.

∙ 14y agomolecules move faster in a state of gas and they move so fast that they broke the gravity force and attractions of each other. Molecules in a state of solid just viberate. so gas would be faster.

∙ 13y agoSlower then in a liquid or gas.. temperature decides speed.. at absolute zero there is no movement

∙ 15y agoMolecules in a liquid are packed close together but move freely, this is why water flows! To answer your question liquid molecules move fast.

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 :)
How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a solid compared to molecules in a gas?
The speed would vary depending on where the molecules are found. Molecules in gas will move faster than they would in liquid.
The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
Why do molecules of gas travel faster than liquids?
gas molecules are less densily packed and hence move faster than liquids
Could the Molecules In The Gas Phase Move Faster Than The Same Molecules Move In The Liquid Phase?
Yes.
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.
Is gas molecules are less widely spread than solid molecule?
Gas molecules are spread apart farther than solid molecules. They also have more energy, making them move faster
Are gas molecules spread apart or more tightly together than a solid?
Gas molecules a spread out father than a soilid. This is beacuase gas molecules have nmore energy which makes them move much faster than the molecules in a solid.
Do molecules travel faster in solid or gas?
gas
How do molecules move during a phase change in a liquid to gas?
They move slower because in a solid the molecule move faster and in a gas they move slower, therefore, they will move slower. :)
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.

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. =)
The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
Why do molecules of gas travel faster than liquids?
gas molecules are less densily packed and hence move faster than liquids
What happens to a fluid when it heats?
When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
