Gas molecules change their motion when they bounce into the surfaces of their containers. If the surfaces absorb the impact, then energy is transfered out of the system and particle speed decreases.

What do you know about gases molecules?

Molecules of a gas are in permanent motion.


Are the molecules in a gas in constant motion?

Yes, the molecules of a gas are constantly in a random motion if the gas temperature is more than 0 degree kelvin. This random motion determines the average kinetic energy of the molecules which is equal to the temperature of the gas. I hope this answers your question.


Does gas molecules are constantly in motion?

Yes they do!


What are molecules in a gas?

In random motion.


Compare the motion and spacing ofbthe molecules in a solid to the motion and spacing of molecules in a gas?

The motion of molecules in a solid will be extremely slow. The spacing is very close to one another.THe opposite is true of gas. The molecules are extremely fast and they are spaced far apart.


How does the motion of the molecules change during melting?

The motion of molecules is accelerated.


What is the behaviour of gas molecules based on the kinetic theory?

Gas molecules are in continuous random motion and they collide with each other.


Are molecules of a substance in motion only as a gas?

No, they are in motion in a liquid as well. In a solid they vibrate in place.


What. is diffusion?

the mixing of gas molecules due to random motion-apex


What Diffusion?

How does heatig affect the motion of molecules of a gas?

They move more energetically.


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.
