A gas is a substance in the phase that has a lot of thermal energy. (The only phase higher is plasma.) Gas is composed of loosely bound molecules, so it can move a lot more freely than solid or liquid. This allows for the motion of parts of the gas to require less force because it doesn't need to drag along all the tightly bound particles of a solid, so it can move more easily and sometimes more quickly with a similar force.

How do the particle move in a gas?
the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
What is the difference between a solid a liquid and a gas?
A solid has a definite shape, while a liquid and a gas do not. Liquids and solids also have definite volumes, while gasses again do not. In a solid, the particles vibrate and jiggle, but do not move around each other. In a liquid, the particles move over and around each other, and move more quickly than in a solid, and in a gas, the particles move freely and move more quickly still. Solids have the least energy in them, liquids have a medium amount, and the gas has the most.
Is dish soap a solid liquid or gas?
liquid not solid or gas
Does radiation move faster through a gas than a solid or liquid?
Usually.
What happens when solid water gradully changes to water as a gas?
It evaporates.
Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?
it is true atoms in a gas move faster than a liquid and atoms in a liquid move faster than atoms in a solid
Why do gas move rapidly?
because gas is a free molecule that can move anywhere.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
Does a gas or solid have more potential energy?
A Gas has more potential energy due to the weak intermolecular forces that are apparent among gas molecules. Solid particles are very close to each other, thus more energy is needed to break the intermolecular forces among solid particles, hence a low potential energy.
What is the state of matter in which particles move most rapidly?
Gaseous
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
Does the gas particles move or less than in a solid?
more because gas particles have more energy to move with rater than solid which has little
What is the state of matter that atoms move the fastest in?
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".
How do the particle move in a gas?
the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Which are the more rapidly heat transfer between solid and solid or gas and gas?
I WOULD SAY IT DEPENDS ON THE MASS OF EACH. If equal mass of all then it would be the gas to gas due to convection as the major transfer of heat.
Particles of a matter move the slowest in a?
solid
