Temperature directly affects the speed of molecular movement in matter. As temperature increases, the molecules gain more energy and move faster. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the molecules slow down. This relationship is described by the kinetic theory of matter.
The speed at which molecules or atoms move is dependent on temperature and state of matter. In general, higher temperatures result in faster molecular or atomic movement, while different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) have different average speeds of molecular motion due to differences in intermolecular forces.
As a very basic answer, the energy from the heat causes the atoms to move. As they move faster and faster, they spread apart further and further, causing solids to become liquids and liquids to become gasses. In the same sense, as matter cools, the atoms slow down and condense back into liquids and solids.
The solid state has the least molecular motion.
Phase change is when a substance changes it's phase to either a solid, liquid, or gas. Solids have the least molecular movement because the molecules are so tightly bonded that they only vibrate. Liquids have the next fastest molecular movement, because the molecules tend to "flow" over each other. They are still bonded, like solids, but just not as tightly. This is why they move faster. Gases, however, have the fastest molecular movement. The molecules "zip" around and move wherever they want. They are not bonded at all. Hope this helps.
The temperature is absolute zero, a minimum temperature of matter based on continually reduced molecular motion. (Although absolute zero cannot be attained, it is possible to get very very close, to about 170 billionths of a kelvin.) Absolute zero is approximately -273.15 °C
The particle model of matter describes matter as being composed of small particles that are in constant motion and explains the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) based on the arrangement and movement of these particles. In contrast, the kinetic molecular theory specifically focuses on the behavior of these particles in gases, emphasizing how their kinetic energy and interactions affect pressure, temperature, and volume. While both concepts highlight the significance of particles, the kinetic molecular theory provides a more detailed understanding of gas behavior and the effects of temperature and pressure.

Yes. And the molecular movement is depenadnt on the temperature. If the molecules move quickly, it tends to be in the gas state. If it slows, it may become liquid. If the movement is very slow, it would then be in a solid state.

Neither visible light nor ultraviolet light have high temperature, because temperature is associated with molecular movement and light is an electromagnetic wave or particle having no temperature. Infrared light is given off by matter that is raised to high temperature, but that is not the same as having temperature.
As energy is added and temperature increases, molecules gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increase in movement can lead to stronger molecular interactions, changes in molecular configuration, and ultimately a change in the state of matter (e.g., from solid to liquid or gas).
How did temperature affect the cookie dough? Was any matter lost during baking?
Absolute zero is the theoretical lowest temperature because it is the point at which the particles that make up matter have minimal energy and motion. At this temperature (-273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin), all thermal activity ceases, making it impossible to further lower the temperature.
The solid state has the least molecular motion.

Thermal energy is the energy associated with the movement of particles within matter. When thermal energy is added to matter, the particles move faster, which can lead to changes in the state of matter (solid to liquid to gas), expansion of the matter, and increase in temperature. Conversely, when thermal energy is removed, the particles slow down, potentially leading to contraction of the matter and decrease in temperature.
