Particles are always moving because they have thermal energy, and this makes them vibrate or bounce around. When you cool them down, you removed thermal energy, and this will slow them down. However, you could not stop them completely unless you cooled them to "absolute zero", which is about -273 degrees Celsius. In practice, this is considered impossible.

Motion is how matter displays energy,

unless there is no energy (in a sample of matter)

say at absolute zero

then the particles must move.

yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.


When will water and solutes stop moving across a membrane?

Particles in a given medium stop moving across the membrane during diffusion when a state of equilibrium is reached, that is when the number of particles on either side of the membrane equalizes.


What happens to sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?

its particles stop moving around because of loosing kinetic energy. As you know kinetic energy is something that moves around .And particles in sample of matter cool off and stop.


When equilibrium is reached do particles still move?

No. Molecules never stop moving if they are about absolute zero in temperature.
