Want this question answered?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
Molecular distance is the furthest and the motion is the fastest in gases. Molecular distance is closer and have much slower motion in liquids. Molecular distance is closest and the molecules move very very slowly (kind of just shake) in solids.
That is called Brownian motion.
Molecules are constantly in motion. Whether they are free moving, as in a gas, or are vibrating in place, as in a solid object, they still move. an object that has reached the theoretical temperature of absolute zero would have no molecular motion, but absolute zero is purely theoretical and is thereby unattainable.
brownian movement
The solid state has the least molecular motion.

I so care, but I don't know.

The average speed of the random molecular motion increases. The corresponding increase in molecular kinetic energy accounts for what happened to all of that heat energy.
That is called Brownian motion.
When the temperature increases during a chemical or physical change the molecular movement increases. This means the molecular movement is faster. If the temperature decreases the molecular movement decreases. This means the molecular movement is slower.

No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.
On the Kelvin scale, zero is the temperature at which there is no atomic or molecular motion.
It is not known and, thanks to Brownian motion, it cannot be known.
They move around freely!!
