Mostly yes and possibly no. Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of all of the particles in a system, so in the bulk sense, yes, atoms and molecules are always moving, because temperature is always greater than absolute zero. However, on an individual atom by atom basis, there may be some atoms that momentarily might have a lower kinetic energy than their first excited state and so therefore aren't moving. However, as soon as they got anywhere near any another atom, a diamagnetic force would kick in, causing the once motionless atom to be set in motion again.

What does the kinect theory state?
Atoms and molecules are constantly in motion
What is the motion for molecules?
The motion of molecules determines
What causes the greatest increase in the motion of molecules in a system?
One thing that causes the greatest increase of motion of molecules is an increase in temperature.
What is the term for mixing gases or liquid molecules by random molecular motion?
Gases and liquids are called fluids.Due to the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules of the fluids they vibrate hence result in a contant mixing or motion of the molecules. Experiments which prove the motion-Brownian motion,Smoke cell
Is there evidence that suggest that matter is in constant motion?
Yes, molecules are constantly vibrating due to heat, absolute zero is when they stop vibrating, absolute zero is zero in Kelvin which is -459.7 F and -273.15 C
Does gas molecules are constantly in motion?
Yes they do!
What does the kinect theory state?
Atoms and molecules are constantly in motion
Are the molecules in a gas in constant motion?
Yes, the molecules of a gas are constantly in a random motion if the gas temperature is more than 0 degree kelvin. This random motion determines the average kinetic energy of the molecules which is equal to the temperature of the gas. I hope this answers your question.
What is the total amount of molecules in motion?
Every molecule in the universe is constantly in motion. Every one contains some amount of thermal energy, and thus they are all in motion.
How does random molecular motion create heat?
By the friction of the molecules constantly rubbing against each other.
How do you describe the motion of atoms in a solid?
Atoms move more freelythan they would in a soild or a liquid.
What is the motion for molecules?
The motion of molecules determines
Are subatomic particles constantly in motion?
Yes molecules vibrate at their own place. However this motion is very tiny. At absolute zero temperature, a pure crystal will have zero motion of molecules. Movement of any particles and temperature is directly related.
Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?
Yes, pressure in the liquid caused by its molecules constantly being in motion force it to take on the shape of its container (within limits).
How does the motion of the molecules change during melting?
The motion of molecules is accelerated.
What are moving molecules?
Molecules in motion
Which statement is true regarding the motion of liquid water molecules and ice molecules?
Liquid water molecules exhibit a greater amount of motion than ice molecules.
