Gas particles move very fast because the particles are separated and have enough space to move around.

Why do gases expand and contract?
A gas is composed of a large number of very small particles that move independently of each other, like little balls bouncing around at random. Therefore the gas does not have a fixed volume and can easily expand and contract, since its particles can move into any new space or can just as easily be restricted to a smaller space.
What is the relative speed of particles?
Well, for atoms to stop moving, the temperature would have to be at 0 K, aka absolute zero. However, that's theoretically impossible. Anyway, solid molecules barely move, "vibrating" against each other in a tightly packed space. For liquid molecules, they can slide past each other and move about, but there's not much space between the particles. As for gas, the particles are much faster than particles of solid or liquid, and the particles move about freely, bumping into each other.
What happens to particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas?
well, in a gas, there is pressure and temperature. the particles move farther apartThe move faster and get further apart from each other.
How do particles of gas act?
They move rapidly and try to spread out from each other as much as possible.
How is particle movement related to matter?
Particles and solid matter are locked into place and have very little free room between them. Particles in a liquid do not have much free space between them, but can easily move around each other. As for particles in gases, they can move freely amongst each other, and also have a lot of free space between them.
Do particles move in liquid?
In a liquid particles move around freely and are constantly interacting with each other. They move by bouncing off each other creating friction.
How do the particles move in gas?
the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
How do particles in a gas move?
the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
In what state the atoms move the fastest?
Particles in the gaseous state move at a very high rate and have a large effect on each other. Particles on a liquid state move slower but still have a measurable effect on each other. Particles in a solid state move very slowly and have little effect on each other.
What do particles do in a liquid?
The particles have room to move around, but cannot move entirely freely.
What particles move or slide past each other?
Particles in a liquid can slide past each other but are still packed together.
How do particles move in liquid?
In a liquid particles move around freely and are constantly interacting with each other. They move by bouncing off each other creating friction.
In what particles are far away from each other and move quickly?
gas
When particles move past each other with ease it is called what?
fluidity
Why do substance expand when heat energy is added to them?
Heat is a measurement of the amount of motion (or kinetic energy) of the particles of which a given substance is composed. In a solid, this motion is just a vibration, since the particles remain in place. When particles vibrate more, they will take up more space. In a gas, the particles move independently of each other, and if they move faster, they will exert more pressure and thus will tend to expand.
Particle model of liquid?
Liquid particles are closely arranged but they can move around each other. Solid particles are closely arranged and can only vibrate about a fixed position. Gas particles are far apart from each other and can move about in any direction.
When air warms air particles move closer together?
No. When air cools air particles move closer together. When air warms air particles move father away from each other.
