Basically, a solid is quite stationary. It doesn't move very much. Liquids have more energy, meaning that the particles move a lot freer. In a gas the particles are a lot further apart, meaning that they have a LOT more space to move.

Solids can be made to move faster if you give it enough energy (ie, heat). The atoms then start vibrating faster, making spaces between the atoms. This is what happens (basically) when you melt something.

When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it is possible that the body will change from what to what?

As the molecules in a body move with increased speed, i.e. increasing kinetic energy, it is possible that the body will change from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or the liquid phase to the gas phase, and in some cases from the solid directly to the gas phase.


How thermal expansion takes place in a solid and in a gas?

In a solid, thermal expansion occurs as the temperature increases, causing the atoms or molecules to vibrate more, increasing the average distance between them. As a result, the solid expands in all directions. In a gas, thermal expansion occurs as the temperature increases, causing the gas molecules to move faster and spread out, increasing the volume of the gas.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?

When the molecules in a body move with increased speed, it is possible for the body to undergo changes in state based on the amount of energy present. As molecules move faster, they may transition from a solid to a liquid, and then from a liquid to a gas due to the increase in kinetic energy. This change in state is a result of the balance between intermolecular forces and thermal energy affecting the arrangement of particles in the substance.


Molecules will move faster and farther apart when state changes from?

A liquid to a gas.


Could the Molecules In The Gas Phase Move Faster Than The Same Molecules Move In The Liquid Phase?

Yes, molecules in the gas phase typically move faster than in the liquid phase because gas molecules have more kinetic energy compared to liquid molecules due to the higher temperatures in the gas phase. Additionally, there is more space between gas molecules, allowing them to move more freely and at higher speeds compared to the liquid phase where molecules are more closely packed.

What do molecules move faster in a solid liquid or gas?

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.


Is gas molecules are less widely spread than solid molecule?

Gas molecules are spread apart farther than solid molecules. They also have more energy, making them move faster


Are gas molecules spread apart or more tightly together than a solid?

Gas molecules a spread out father than a soilid. This is beacuase gas molecules have nmore energy which makes them move much faster than the molecules in a solid.


Do molecules travel faster in solid or gas?

gas


When you heat a solid and it melts becomes a?

It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.


Do molecules move faster in a liquid?

Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)


How do molecules move during a phase change in a liquid to gas?

During a phase change from liquid to gas, molecules gain energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together in the liquid state. As they absorb energy, molecules start to move faster and break free from their fixed positions, eventually leading to a transition to the less dense gas phase.


Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?

No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.


What do molecules do in a solid liquid and gas?

Solid. The molecules are compacted together and vibrate at high speeds. Liquid. The molecules are still close together but are not fixed and can roll around each other. they spread to take the shape of the container. the molecules move at even higher speeds than solid. Gas. The molecules are far away from each other and move even faster than water Molecules. the spread out or shrink inward to meet the shape of the container.

What do the molecules of a gas do?

Move a lot faster then liquids and solids.


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
