Molecules in a solid are constantly vibrating. Heating a solid increases the vibration of the molecules. Solids stay fixed because of the attraction between their molecules. This can be broken by increasing heat and therefore vibration to the point of inducing a phase change.

What is the difference between molecule and an atom?

All matter is made of of atoms. Atoms can be bonded together to make molecules. For example, The molecule H2O is made up of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Atoms can be charged as anions or cations. In molecules there is more than 1 atom held together by a chemical bond. Molecules are neutral. Molecules may be elements or compounds. Atoms are always smaller than molecules. Molecules are always larger than atoms. Atoms are always lighter than molecule. Molecules are always heavier than atoms.


In molecules is hydrogen always a terminal atom?

No, hydrogen is not always a terminal atom in molecules. Hydrogen can also be found in the middle of a molecule, for example in hydrocarbons like methane or in complex organic molecules.
