Molecular movement slows down as the temperature of the molecules decreases, yes. The theoretical limit of this - where all molecular motion would stop completely (and is actually not possible) - is called "absolute zero" or Zero degrees Kelvin. Again, theoretically, nothing could get colder than that, because there is no cold that is colder than that. Temperature is the measure of how fast molecules or atoms in a substance are moving. The faster the movement, the higher the temperature, and vise versa.

Why does ice turn into ice in cold weather?
because the cold slows down the particles in water until they bump&stick together. they still move by vibrating.
What particles move the most?
the particles that move the most is sugar
How do the particles in a solid move?
the particles in a solid are closely locked in position and can only vibrate
What happens to the motion of the particles when you move the slide from cold to warm and then from warm to hot?
If the particles are small enough, they will move faster as they get hotter.
Do particles move closer or farther apart when freezing?
Yes. All atomic sized particles move, by vibrating. no matter how cold they are.
What happens to air when it gets extremely cold?
The particles in the air come closer together and don't move as much.

Why do cold air particles move fast?
The statement is not correct; cold air particles move slowly because they lack the kinetic energy they need to move fast, which is heat.
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.
Do particles move slower in cold solids hot solids or hot gases?
Particles move slower in cold solids. In the solids, they are more compact and closer together. Particles move slower as temperature drops, so particles in this case move slowest in cold solids. This is because the higher the temperature the particles receive, the more kinetic energy they get as well, and thus the faster they move. If it helps, try thinking of when your cold. You use energy to warm yourself up by moving around, rubbing your hands, even shivering, this is all in an effort to raise your body temperature, so the more movement, the more energy and therefore the higher temperature! Hope this helps! :)

How does heat heat up stuff?
well heat is fast moving particles they collide with slow particles which is cold and the slow particles move fast too. In the end the slow particles move faster just as heat so they are not cold anymore.
If you freeze a liquid what happens to the particles?
The particles move closer together and are practically so close they cannot move.
What happens to the motion of the particles when you move the slide from cold to warm and then from warm to hot?
If the particles are small enough, they will move faster as they get hotter.
What is the particles of movement?
In the solids the particles are stuck together and can't move over each other.In the liquid the particles have small spaces to move in and move but not easily.In the gas the gas the particles have a lot of space to move in and move easily everywhere.
What do particles do during expansion and contraction?
If the object is heated it will expand because the particles gain energy from the heat and move about more vigorously causing them to bump into each other and move further and further apart. When the substance is cooled (gets cold) the particles slow down and move closer and closer together causing the object to contract.
