Best Answer

Molecules in solid matter/material move through heat.

Example:

Through an experiment you ca determine how molecules of solid material move.

Use the science tools: alcohol lamp, ball, and ring.(note: the ring should fit on the ring not too tight nor too loose)

  1. Insert the ball on the ring. Does it fit?
  2. Now heat the ball for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Insert again the ball on the ring. What do you observe?

Try this experiment and see how heat can move the molecules of solid.

The properties of solid liquid and gases?

Solid molecules are rigid and has a shape. Liquid molecules are less rigid than solid and the molecules move. Gases have no shape and its molecules are free floating and move at rapid speeds against each other.

yes


How is a solid a solid?

a solid is a solid because the molecules that are in the object are closely compact with each other. they do not move but the do vibrate.


Do molecules of matter don't move in solids?

Molecules vibrate in a solid but they do not move from one place to another. Although these vibrations are small yet they result in a change in the position of molecules. So, we can say that molecules change position in a solid.


How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?

In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please


Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?

solid state


In which material do molecules have a greater attractions for each other solid butter or liquid butter?

In solids, molecules have the greatest attractions for one another. That is why molecules in a solid barely move around or switch positions. In gases, the molecules move around quickly and freely, so their attractions are weak. Liquids are in between. So, to answer: solid.


Is Molecule movement is smallest a solid liquid or Gas?

Molecule movement is the smallest in a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited freedom to move and vibrate. In liquids and gases, the molecules have more space and freedom to move, resulting in greater molecular movement.
