Typically when speaking of states of matter and its respective molecules we are talking of how freely the molecules are moving not necessarily how fast they are moving. I'm sure some molecules move faster than others but not particular because of what state they're in but because of properties that belong to that particular molecule. I will say that in general molecules move fastest when they are in liquid state and are on the verge of freeing themselves from their molecular bonds into a gas state. Respectively I believe the inverse is true about slowest state which would be their liquid phase right before they become a solid. . . .because when solid they cease to move.
And so they move the least in solid state and are the most free in the gas state. . . as for how fast or slow they move, that's actually a different question altogether.

Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?

In the solid state, molecules move the slowest. The particles are tightly packed together and have the least amount of energy to move around.

Which state of matter is characterized by having molecules far apart and moving randomly?

The state of matter in which molecules are generally far apart and moving randomly is known as the gaseous state. Steam is an example of a gas.


What is the physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules?

The physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules is called a gas. In the gas state, the molecules move freely and quickly, resulting in a high degree of kinetic energy. This state is characterized by molecules that are spaced far apart from each other.


Which state of matter is the slowest?

solid


Matter tends to exist in what energy state?

Matter tends to exist in the lowest energy state. Atoms and molecules are constantly moving. When they are at a high energy state they are moving past each other and not interacting. This causes the matter to be unstable. When atoms and molecules are moving slowly, they interact more with each other and this makes the matter more stable.


What state of matter has the slowest moving particle?

The Bose Einstein Condensate - to create a BEC, a temperature of less than a microkelvin is required.


What state of matter has less energy solid or liquid?

Solid. The molecules are not moving as quickly because of it's state of matter. That's why it is a solid.


When the crystal structure of matter begins to collapse into a swarm of freely flowing molecules the matter is moving from the ( blank) state to the (blank) state?

solid to liquid


In which state of matter do the particles expand to fill all the space?

In the gas state of matter the molecules are moving too fast to stick to other molecules. Because they are free floating the molecules expand to fill all of the space available.
