Solid particles vibrate while locked in place. As they receive more energy, particle speed increases. Once the particles have enough energy they break apart and slide past each other as a liquid. The particle speed continues to increase as energy is added. Finally, they gain enough energy to break free and move independently as a gas.

Which state of matter has the least molecular motion?

The solid state has the least molecular motion.


How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?

The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.


Describe the molecular distance and motion in the three states of matter?

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.


What expands in heat and shrinks in cold?

Most materials expand when heated due to increased molecular motion, and contract when cooled due to decreased molecular motion. Examples include gases, liquids, and solids such as metals and plastics.


Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?

No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.

Why solids is not compressible why?

solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?

The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.


Why can't the kinetic molecular theory be applied to liquids and solids?

The kinetic molecular theory cannot be directly applied to liquids and solids because the particles in these states are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces, which affect their movement and behavior differently than in gases.


What are not like gases?

Solids and liquids are not like gases.
