Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.

What is the total energy of motion in a molecule?

The total energy of motion in a molecule is referred to as its kinetic energy. This includes the energy associated with the molecule's translational, rotational, and vibrational motion. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.

Does the amount of heat in a substance depend on the motion of the molecules?

Yes, the amount of heat in a substance is related to the motion of its molecules. Heat is a form of energy that corresponds to the motion of molecules within a substance. The more heat a substance has, the faster its molecules move.


Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?

Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.
