Best Answer

Molecular motion is how atoms move. They will move differently depending on what kinds of energy are stimulating it and these motions are measured using temperature.

A measure of the rotational and transitional movement of molecules. It is useful in predicting many important diffusion-limited properties of food.

Describe the molecular distance and motion in the three states of matter?

Molecular distance is the furthest and the motion is the fastest in gases. Molecular distance is closer and have much slower motion in liquids. Molecular distance is closest and the molecules move very very slowly (kind of just shake) in solids.


When a substace is heated how does the molecular motion change?

The average speed of the random molecular motion increases. The corresponding increase in molecular kinetic energy accounts for what happened to all of that heat energy.


What is the Erratic motion of microscopic particles caused by random molecular motion?

That is called Brownian motion.


What does Molecular Motion mean?

When the temperature increases during a chemical or physical change the molecular movement increases. This means the molecular movement is faster. If the temperature decreases the molecular movement decreases. This means the molecular movement is slower.


Does molecular motion stop when diffusion stops?

No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.


What temperature scale places zero at the point where all atomic and molecular motion ceases?

On the Kelvin scale, zero is the temperature at which there is no atomic or molecular motion.


What is the exact molecular motion of liquid?

It is not known and, thanks to Brownian motion, it cannot be known.


What is the definition of molecular fossils?

Chemical traces of ancient organisms are called molecular fossils
