Best Answer

Solid.

The molecules are compacted together and vibrate at high speeds.

Liquid.

The molecules are still close together but are not fixed and can roll around each other. they spread to take the shape of the container. the molecules move at even higher speeds than solid.

Gas.

The molecules are far away from each other and move even faster than water Molecules. the spread out or shrink inward to meet the shape of the container.

When you heat a solid and it melts becomes a?

It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.


What is the relationship of molecules in a solid liquid and a gas?

gas- the molecules are farther apart since there is more space in the air solid- the molecules are closer together since it is in one specific area Liquid- the molecules can be farther or closer together depending on the volume of the liquid


How the particles in matter move?

It depends which state of matter you are referring to -- solid, liquid or gas. Solid: molecules vibrate in place Liquid: molecules are moving faster than a solid but slower than a gas. gas: molecules are moving at a high speed hope this helps :)

Explain the difference between sound traveling through an solid liquid or gas?

sound can travel past in solid because the molecules of solid is tightly closed and next liquid the molecules of liquid not so far away to each other and the slower is gas but it can travel longer than solid and liquid because the molecules in gas are far way and can move freely that can travel longer...

How do the properties of a gas differ from the properties of a liquid or solid?

they differ from their molecules when gas molecules have lots of energy ,liquid has less energy, and gas has the smallest amount of energy.


What do molecules move faster in a solid liquid or gas?

Gas...The molecules are less tightly packed together like in a solid and liquid so they're free to move. They seem more energized, they're faster.
