Well, "air" isn't a molecule. Air is considered oxygen. Oxygen molecules are very, very, very small. Microscopic.

Why are particles always in motion?

Particles are always in motion because they have an amount of heat energy stored within them. As additional heat is added, the substance's particles gain more energy, and will in turn increase distance between themselves, and weaken the bonds between them. In turn, when heat is taken away from a substance (it is cooled down) the particles loose energy, and the distance between them will decrease, causing the bonds between them to strengthen. The whole idea is known as the particle theory. However, particles may not be always in motion. Scientists discovered the temperature point of absolute zero, which is -273.15°C, or 0°K (Kelvin). This is the lowest temperature possible.
