Best Answer

The statement is not correct; cold air particles move slowly because they lack the kinetic energy they need to move fast, which is heat.

Does warm air or cold air make gas particles move apart?

Gas particles, like the particles in all states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are always moving apart and colloding with other particles. Gas particles have more space in between and tend to move faster than the particles in a solid or liquid state. Temperature only affects how fast a particle moves, therefore warm air makes gas particles move faster and cold air makes gas particles move slower.

Does sound travel faster in warm air or cold air?

it travels faster in warner air since cold particles dont move very fast because they do not have much energy. then when warm air enters the particles they start moving faster and vibrating faster which moves sound along alot faster. hope this helps :).


What happens to particles in a substance when its heated or cooled?

In a solid, the particles start to vibrate a lot.In a liquid, the particles begin to move around faster and faster.In a gas, the particles move extremely fast through the air.


Is colder air heavier than warmer air?

Yes because cold air particles are stuck tight together and warm air particles move around in the air freely. That is why warm air is usually higher up than cold air.


What happens to air when it gets extremely cold?

The particles in the air come closer together and don't move as much.

Do air molecules move fast in hot weather or slow?

Air molecules move faster in hot weather and slower in cold weather.


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.


What way do cold air molecules move?

In cold air, molecules move slower then they would move in warm air. One part of the KPM (kinetic particle model) states that temperature directly effects the movement of the particles, therefore causing the molecules of the warm air to move faster (because of more frequent collisions between the molecules).
