Well, that depends on what state of matter they are in. a solid can move, but cannot move freely as it is bound to one spot by the gravitational forces. water would be able to move freely in a confined space. and gas can move freely as long as there is nothing blocking its path.
What else can I help you with?
When are molecules of a substance in motion?
Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
When the particles in a substance move faster what increases?
Temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of the substance.
When a substances particles absorb energy what happens to the motion particles?
When a substance's particles absorb energy, their kinetic energy increases, causing them to move more rapidly. This heightened movement can lead to a change in the state of the substance, such as melting from solid to liquid or boiling from liquid to gas. As the particles collide with one another more energetically, the overall temperature of the substance may rise.
What does temperature have to do with the motion of particles that make up a substance?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. As temperature increases, the particles gain more energy and move faster. This increased motion leads to a higher likelihood of collisions between particles and ultimately results in an increase in the substance's overall temperature.
What is the measure of the speed of particles in a substance?
When we heat a substance, the energy absorbed is converted into kinetic energy of the particles in it. The faster the particles in it vibrate, move, collide, etc. the higher the temperatureof a substance.So the expected answer is Temperature
If the particles of matter that make up a substance are relatively far apart and can move freely the substance?
If the particles of matter that make up a substance are relatively far apart and can move freely, the substance is likely in a gaseous state. Gas particles have a lot of space between them and move independently of one another.
What is the movement of objects and substances that move from one place to another?
yes,sound waves always move from one substance to another
What is the average speed of the particles of a substance?
The average speed of particles in a substance is determined by the temperature of the substance. At higher temperatures, particles move faster, while at lower temperatures, particles move slower. This average speed is related to the kinetic energy of the particles.
When the particles of a substance move around faster what do they cause the substance to do?
stge
What state of matter is that substance?
The state of matter of a substance is determined by the arrangement of its particles. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have particles that are tightly packed and vibrating in place, liquids have loosely packed particles that can move past one another, and gases have particles that are far apart and move freely.
What substance is solids?
It is a substance that has a lot of particles that are packed together. The particles can not move becase the solid paticles are to strong.
When are molecules of a substance in motion?
Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
When the particles of a substance move about faster they spread out causing the substance to what?
Change states
When the particles of a substance move faster they spread out causing the substance to what?
Change states
Do the particles in solid ice move slower than the particles in liquid?
Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.
Does temperature measure how fast the particles of a substance are moving around?
Yes, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. When temperature increases, the particles move faster, and when it decreases, they move slower.
What occurs when particles in a substance move faster and occupy a larger space without changing to another state of matter?
Thermal expansion
