The speed of gas particles is a function of the mass of the individual gas molecules and the (absolute) temperature. How "fast" they are therefore depends on how hot and heavy they are: hotter means faster and heavier means slower. (Technically, it's the root-mean-square speed that depends on those factors; an individual gas particle may be significantly faster or slower than the root-mean-square speed.)
Because "fast" is a relative term, an actual number may be helpful. Oxygen molecules at STP have an RMS velocity of around 460 meters per second. This is indeed pretty fast on a human scale; it's a little over a thousand miles per hour.

What particles move independently of each other?
Gas particles move very fast because the particles are separated and have enough space to move around.
How is the movement of particles in a gas differ from the movement of particles in liquid?
I think the reason why is that the particles in a gas move freely and they move fast. Therefor the particles in a liquid slide past eachother and the reason why that they're differ from eachoth is because a gas and a liquid are differ from eachother like an example, They particles in a gas heat up and move freely
What is the state of matter where particles are far apart and move very fast called?
A gas.
Which explanation best compares the movement of particles in the three states of matter?
All of the particles on each states of matter vibrates but moves a little except gas
Why is boiling water a Heat Energy?
Heat energy is a measure of how fast particles of matter are vibrating. As more energy goes into the matter, the particles vibrate faster. At some point (it is different for each material) the particles move fast enough to change phase. When water boils, the particles change state from liquid to gas.
Does gas have fast moving particles?
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.
Which change of state has fast moving particles?
Gas has fast moving particles.
Are the particles in the gas moving fast or slow?
fast
Do fast gas particles have low pressure?
becausse the particles in gas are far apart.
How do the particles of a gas move?
fast and with freedom
Why are gas particles fast?
Gas particles are fast because they have a higher amount of kinetic energy than those found in the liquid or solid state.
What particles move independently of each other?
Gas particles move very fast because the particles are separated and have enough space to move around.
Are the particles in a solid moving or still?
Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.
How the particle look like in gas?
In a gas particles are spread out so much that they are independent. The particles move fast.
Does a gas have fast moving particles?
Yes, they do that is why we smell farts so fast
What happens when the gas particles are moving fast to its energy and its temperature?
exerting lots of kinetic energy into gas particles speeds up the collision theory
How is the movement of particles in a gas differ from the movement of particles in liquid?
I think the reason why is that the particles in a gas move freely and they move fast. Therefor the particles in a liquid slide past eachother and the reason why that they're differ from eachoth is because a gas and a liquid are differ from eachother like an example, They particles in a gas heat up and move freely
