Atoms bond with each other covalently or ionically to form solids. Covalent bonding includes the sharing of two or more atoms. Ionic bonding transfers the electrons from one atom to another. The electrons are shared as the atoms are trying to fill there valence electron shell becoming a solid. Atoms bond with each other covalently or ionically to form solids.

Do molecules in gases move the fastest?

Yes. Gases move fastest, followed by liquid, while solids are the slowest.


In a soild they are close together?

If by "they" you mean molecules, yes. compared the the other phases of matter, the molecules of solids are closest together. Also they are in an organized pattern and have no room to move, so they merely vibrate around a center point.


Are molecules in gas widely spaced?

Yes, molecules in a gas are widely spaced compared to liquids and solids. They have a lot of kinetic energy, which allows them to move freely and fill the space in which they are contained.


Is it stone and metal are compose of molecules?

Yes, ALL materials are composed of molecules, the liquids, the gases, and the solids. [There are a few curious states of matter such as Plasma, in which the molecular bonds are broken]


Are gases liquids and solids the three primary states of matter?

Yes, gases, liquids, and solids are the three primary states of matter. Gases have molecules that are far apart and move freely, liquids have particles that are close together but can still move past one another, and solids have tightly packed particles that vibrate in place.


Ice is a solid?

Yes. The molecules of ice move very little to not at all, thus making it a solid.


Is there space between a molecules in a mixture?

Yes, although it is very limited due to atoms being very small. There is always some space between, even in solids.


Are gasses matter?

Yes, gases are a form of matter. They are made up of particles (atoms or molecules) that have mass and occupy space. Gases have the ability to fill the container they are in and can be compressed or expanded.


Can heat be conducted through solids?

Yes... the transfer of energy via the vibrating molecules of solids.....


Do liquids heat up faster than solids?

In general, liquids heat up faster than solids because molecules in liquids are able to move and transfer heat more freely than molecules in solids, which have a fixed structure. This allows heat to be distributed more evenly and raise the temperature of liquids more rapidly.


Are molecules matter?

Yes, atoms have mass, so they have matter.


Are atoms and molecules in matter attracted to one another?

yes
