Well, for atoms to stop moving, the temperature would have to be at 0 K, aka absolute zero. However, that's theoretically impossible. Anyway, solid molecules barely move, "vibrating" against each other in a tightly packed space. For liquid molecules, they can slide past each other and move about, but there's not much space between the particles. As for gas, the particles are much faster than particles of solid or liquid, and the particles move about freely, bumping into each other.

Examples of the nine types of solution according to physical state?
Solid in solid: metal alloys. Liquid in liquid: vinegar dissolving in water. Gas in gas: air. Solid in liquid: salt dissolving in water. Liquid in solid: mercury absorbed by gold. Gas in liquid: carbon dioxide dissolving in soda. Solid in gas: smoke particles in air. Liquid in gas: water vapor in air. Gas in solid: hydrogen absorbed by palladium.
How each state changes and what it is called?
* solid to liquid: melting* liquid to solid: freezing* liquid to gas: vaporization* gas to liquid: liquefaction* solid to gas: sublimation* gas to solid: deposition
What is the difference between a liquid gas solution and a liquid solid solution?
A liquid gas solution is a liquid made up of an element(s) that are normally gas at room temperature. A liquid solid solution is made up of an element(s) that are normally solids at room temperature... Which is around 21 degrees Celsius.
Compare particle movement in a solid liquid and gas?
The motion of particles in a solid are much slower than those in the gas. Gaseous particles are very energetic and highly kinetic.
How does the motion of the particles change wen waterchsanges from liquid to a solid to a liquid to get gas?
bye
Are molecules of a substance in motion only as a gas?
No, they are in motion in a liquid as well. In a solid they vibrate in place.
Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?
Solid
Energy related to the motion or position of matter is?
matter is classified as solid liquid and gas
What is the process of converting a gas to a liquid is called?
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
What is it called when something changes from solid to liquid?
solid to liquid= meltingliquid- solid= freezingliquid to gas= vaporization (There is two forms- boiling and evaporation. The difference is that evaporation happens on the surface of the liquid, and boiling happens throughout.)gas to liquid= condensationgas to solid= depositionsolid to gas= sublimation
What is gas a solid liquid or a gas?
Is a pencil a solid liquid or gas
Is a feather a liquid or solid or gas?
a feather is a solid
How many combinations of the three states of matter are there?
There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The number of combinations possible from these states is 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. The six possible combinations are solid-liquid-gas, solid-gas-liquid, liquid-solid-gas, liquid-gas-solid, gas-solid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid.

What are three forms of matter (liquid solid and gas)?
As we all know d 3 forms of matter,Solid Liquid and Gas,the difference between these 3 is the distance between the molecules of matter, the order of dist between these states is as below solid<liquid<gas.
The process of converting a liquid to a gas is called what?
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
