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.
Solid. The molecules are not moving as quickly because of it's state of matter. That's why it is a solid.
The rank of states of matter from slowest to fastest movement of particles is as follows: solid, liquid, gas, plasma. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and have the least amount of movement. In a liquid, particles have more freedom to move around but are still relatively close together. In a gas, particles have the most freedom of movement and are spread out. Plasma is the fastest state of matter, with particles moving at incredibly high speeds due to the presence of free electrons and ions.
Ice has particles moving the slowest among the three forms of water (solid, liquid, and gas). In the solid state, water molecules are held closely together in a rigid structure, causing them to vibrate in place rather than move freely. This results in slower particle movement compared to liquid water, where molecules are able to move past each other more easily.
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
Gaseous.
In the solid state, molecules move the slowest. The particles are tightly packed together and have the least amount of energy to move around.
ing particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving

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.
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.
solid
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.
The Bose Einstein Condensate - to create a BEC, a temperature of less than a microkelvin is required.
Solid. The molecules are not moving as quickly because of it's state of matter. That's why it is a solid.
solid to liquid
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.
