well, a solid has the slowest atoms, they are placed closely together, and because of that, they cannot move much. A liquid has faster atoms, placed slightly farther apart, allowing them to move faster.

So, no, liquid atoms are faster than solid atoms

P.S. just so you know, the atoms of a gas move the fastest, and are placed the farthest apart of the three

What is the difference between solid and liquid is the kind of atoms in the material?

The atoms in a solid are in a tighter formation that as they are in a liquid. In a liquid, They are loose and have the ability to pour.


Are the atoms of sulphur in the liquid the same as the atoms in solid sulphur?

The atoms in a liquid are the same as the atoms in a solid. They are simply arranged in a different way, and have different energy and different intermolecular forces.


How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?

Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state


What happens when temperature of a solid reaches its melting point?

When a substance reaches its freezing point or boiling point, it also undergoes a physical change from one phase to another, changing some of its physical properties.


How do solid become liquid?

Liquids become solids by cooling. For example pure water upon cooling to 0 Degrees Celcius will turn from a liquid state to a solid state. Cooling / freezing slowing down or restricts the movements the particles within the substance and as this occurs they move slower and slower till they obtain a near stationary state, known as a solid.


Are the atoms in liquid sulphur the same as in solid sulphur?

Yes, the atoms in liquid sulphur are the same as in solid sulphur. The difference between them lies in the arrangement of the atoms. In a solid, the atoms are packed tightly in a fixed position, while in a liquid, the atoms are more loosely arranged and free to move around.


What is the only difference between liquid or molten steel and solid steel?

Energy. The atoms in solid steel are moving more slowly than the atoms in liquid steel.


Is Liquid wax turned solid a chemical change?

Yes becasue when the atoms inside the wax start to change, they all form and become a solid. this is what is now called replacement.


How does arrangement of atoms in most solids differ from the arrangement of atoms in a liquid?

The arrangement of atoms in solids are different from those in liquids in that they are unable to move from their location in the solid, where they can move in the liquid. A solid's atoms are vibrating very rapidly, but the molecules are all locked into place, whereas in a liquid the molecules are free to move around. Also in general the atoms of a solid are closer together than those of a liquid with the exception of water, whose solid form is less dense.


Can solid become a liquid?

A liquid can become a solid for example when you freeze ice it becomes and ice cube.


Is matter made out of solid liquid gass?

Matter is a combination of atoms, often molecules, that are in a solid, liquid, or gas phase.


Solid or liquid argon have greater density?

Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
