In a solid atoms do not move at all, but they can vibrate.
All atoms are in a constant state of motion due to their thermal energy, which causes them to vibrate and move. This movement is essential for various properties of matter, such as temperature, pressure, and phase changes. Atoms in a solid state may vibrate in place, while atoms in a liquid or gas state move more freely.
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.
In a solid state atoms do not move much. They just vibrate in a fixed position. In a liquid state atoms move around frequently and do not stay in fixed positions.
When atoms gain enough energy to be able to move freely and independently, the matter has changed into the state of a gas. In the gas state, atoms are not fixed in a specific position and can move and interact with other atoms more freely compared to in solid or liquid states.
This state of matter is the liquid.
Atoms are in the gaseous state when they fly around freely. In this state, atoms have enough energy to overcome the forces that hold them together in a solid or liquid, allowing them to move independently and rapidly throughout the space they occupy.
No, they do not.
In a gas state, atoms move fastest at higher temperatures due to their increased kinetic energy. In a solid or liquid state, atoms move fastest at higher temperatures as well, but their motion is more restricted by the intermolecular forces present in these states.
Atoms of all elements exist in the state of matter known as the gas phase.
The boiling point of an object is the point at which the substance's atoms/molecules because too "excited" and begin to break free from their current liquid state. Heat is a type of energy. Heating an object makes the object's atoms move quicker and quicker, until they eventually break that bond that they have with each other and move on into the next energetic state. A solid is a low-energy state, a liquid is a moderate-energy state, and as you guessed, a gas is a high-energy state. All this energy talk is the energy in the atoms, to clarify. The faster the atoms move, the higher the temperature, the closer it is to moving on to the next energetic state. The freezing point of an object is just the opposite, it is the point where enough energy is lost within the atoms/molecules of the substance to move down to the less-energetic state, a solid.
That would depend more on the temperature, than on the state of matter. At higher temperatures, atoms would move faster. At very high temperatures, such as in the core of the stars, the state of matter is called a "plasma".
Gaseous state. Atoms in this state have enough thermal energy to overcome their intermolecular forces, allowing them to move freely and independently of each other.
