Particles will move fastest in hot water and slowest in cold water and when it is in room temperature water they will move at an average speed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During a change of state where the energy of the substance is increased (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, solid to gas), the temperature starts to increase and the particles move faster, so the hotter, faster moving particles start to change state and rise, leaving the colder particles, which keeps the temperature constant, and vice versa.

During a change in phase the particles of the substance are rearranged. A solid is a highly ordered state in which the particles are close together in an orderly arrangement called a crystal lattice. The particles can only vibrate around a point within the lattice structure. To form a liquid the particles will spread apart slightly but more importantly the particles can move away from their lattice positions and can move about within the confines of the liquid. To form a gas the particles can break away from the confines of the liquid and subsequently move very far apart relative to their tiny size.

Temperature remains constant during the change in phase (physical state).
