Why does liquid move faster than solid?

In liquids, the particles are not held in a fixed position like in solids, allowing them to move more freely and at a faster pace. Solid particles are tightly packed and have a fixed arrangement, restricting their movement compared to the more fluid and dynamic nature of liquid particles.


Do molecules move faster in a gas or a solid?

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.


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.


Did The particles move slowest liquid form?

Yes, particles move slowest in liquid form compared to solid and gas forms. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around compared to solids where particles are tightly packed, but they move slower than in gases where particles are more spread out and move faster.

Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?

No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.

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. =)

Can a solid become a liquid by slowing it's atoms?

well, a solid has the slowest atoms, they are placed closely together, and because of that, they cannot move much. A liquid has faster atoms, placed slightly farther apart, allowing them to move faster. So, no, liquid atoms are faster than solid atoms P.S. just so you know, the atoms of a gas move the fastest, and are placed the farthest apart of the three


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.


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.


Does sound move through a solid slowly?

Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.


Describe how particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?

Particles do not change when they change state from solid to liquid form. However, they will change behavior because they are completely still when they are solid and move faster when a liquid.
