A gas is a substance in the phase that has a lot of thermal energy. (The only phase higher is plasma.) Gas is composed of loosely bound molecules, so it can move a lot more freely than solid or liquid. This allows for the motion of parts of the gas to require less force because it doesn't need to drag along all the tightly bound particles of a solid, so it can move more easily and sometimes more quickly with a similar force.
The phases of matter in order from least particle motion to greatest particle motion are: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid, the particles are more free to move around but still relatively close together. In a gas, particles move freely and rapidly, while in a plasma, particles are highly energized and move even more rapidly.
As atoms move from solid to liquid to gas, their kinetic energy increases. In the solid phase, atoms vibrate in fixed positions with low kinetic energy. In the liquid phase, atoms have more freedom to move around and their kinetic energy increases. In the gas phase, atoms have even more kinetic energy as they move freely and rapidly.
The three primary phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and have fixed positions. In a liquid, particles move more freely and can flow, while in a gas, particles have high energy and move independently of each other.
the atoms and molecules are free to move independently, colliding frequently.
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.

because gas is a free molecule that can move anywhere.
True. Atoms in a gas have higher kinetic energy and move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or solid due to the greater distance between them and the weaker intermolecular forces present in gases. This leads to gases having more freedom of movement compared to the more constrained motion of atoms in liquids and solids.
No, gas particles are not closely locked in position. They are free to move and are far apart, allowing them to move around and occupy the volume of their container. Gas particles have high kinetic energy, enabling them to move freely and rapidly.
In a solid, molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed lattice structure. In a liquid, molecules are more loosely packed and can move past each other. In a gas, molecules are far apart from each other and move freely. In a plasma, atoms are stripped of their electrons, resulting in a highly charged state where particles move rapidly and are electrically conductive.
The gas state of matter typically has particles that move the fastest among the three states (solid, liquid, gas). Gas particles have higher energy levels and are further apart compared to particles in solids and liquids, allowing them to move more rapidly.
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
Oscillation about a fixed point is a characteristic of all states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. It refers to a back-and-forth movement or vibration of particles around a central or equilibrium position. In solids, the particles oscillate in fixed positions; in liquids, they move more freely; and in gases, they move rapidly and randomly.
The atoms in a solid are arranged in closely packed. Lot of energy is required to break the bond between atoms or molecules. Supplied energy to the solid is loose in the form of vibrations. They vibrate back and forth, but do not (inter)change place, so there is no molecular 'velocity'. Liquids and gases even more have 'speady' molecules (that's why those material states don't have a certain 'shape').
As atoms move from solid to liquid to gas, their kinetic energy increases. In the solid phase, atoms vibrate in fixed positions with low kinetic energy. In the liquid phase, atoms have more freedom to move around and their kinetic energy increases. In the gas phase, atoms have even more kinetic energy as they move freely and rapidly.
Molecules move fastest in a gas, then in a liquid, and slowest in a solid. In a gas, molecules have high kinetic energy and move freely, while in a liquid, molecules can slide past each other but are still somewhat restricted. In a solid, molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions.
