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.

∙ 15y agoIn any state, molecules will cease to move completely at "absolute zero". That is what is theorized, at least.

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.
In which state of matter are the molecules of water bunched together?
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
What state of matter has molecules that are the furthest apart?
Gaseous.
What state is the matter in when all molecules are just vibrating around?
All forms except a Bose-Einstein condensate, which only occurs at absolute zero.
What is a state of matter with no definite shape or volume?
Gaseous state.because in a gaseous state there are no intermolecular forces between molecules so they are allowed to move freely
Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?
solid state
Which state of matter has the the slowest moving particles?
Solid
How do the state of matter different in terms of motions of their particles?
ing particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving

What is the physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules?
gas
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.
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 is the relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state?
The relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state is simple. The higher the kinetic energy the faster the molecules move. The fastest moving molecules are gaseous and the slowest moving molecules are solids.
Which state of matter is the slowest?
solid
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.
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.
