What is different about the speed of the molecules and how they arranged in the three types of matter?

The molecules move the fastest in a gas and the slowest in a solid, while a liquid falls somewhere in between.
In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together, and cannot really move (they can only vibrate). The distance between them cannot change. In a liquid, the molecules are somewhat less tightly packed together and can move, but the distance between them is still fixed (thus, even though it can flow, liquid can't really change in volume). In a gas, the molecules are very loosely held together and the distances between them can change easily, so a gas can be compressed without difficulty.

Measure of the energy or heat of matter?
The measurement of the energy or heat in matter involves measurement of average speed of atoms and molecules.
The different molecules that make up the air in a room have on average the same kinetic energy how does the speed of the different air molecules depend on their masses?
If mixed together, molecules with various masses will move at different speeds related to their mass.
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 :)
How does the speed of molecules of gas change when heated?
The speed of the molecules speeds up when the gas is heated.
When a gas changes into a liquid it is called condensation and the speed of the molecules is increased or decreased?
the speed of the molecules decreases.
What is the speed at which molecules or atoms move dependent on temperature and state of matter?
energy

How does the speed of the molucules of a gas change when the gas is heated?
Molecules move faster when heated -- no matter what state they're in.
What happens when water boils and turns in to gas?
When matter is heated the molecules move faster and the speed becomes so great the molecules cannot hold together. The molecules fly apart and become a gas.
When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?
Slow down and the temperature drops.
How does the speed of molecules of gas change when heated?
The speed of the molecules speeds up when the gas is heated.
What processor is the minimum required for different bandwidths?
processor speed does not matter.
How does the speed of the molecules of a gas change when the gas is heatead?
When a gas is heated it's molecules begin to move faster and farther apart, juat as all other states of matter will when heated.
An indirect measurement of the speed of molecules is made with a?
An indirect measurement of the speed of molecules is made with a thermometer.
