Not counting how they all move together as the object moves;

each molecule moves around its own location (often said to vibrate) at a speed that depends on the temperature of the object.

If the temp gets high enough, then the molecule(s) can break loose of the bonds that hold them in place ... either liquefying or evaporating.

At absolute zero they don't move, theoretically (for that temp has never been reached).

Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?

Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.


Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?

In the solid state, molecules move the slowest. The particles are tightly packed together and have the least amount of energy to move around.


Do molecules move faster when a solid is heated?

yes


How is a solid a solid?

a solid is a solid because the molecules that are in the object are closely compact with each other. they do not move but the do vibrate.


Do molecules of matter don't move in solids?

Molecules vibrate in a solid but they do not move from one place to another. Although these vibrations are small yet they result in a change in the position of molecules. So, we can say that molecules change position in a solid.


How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?

In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please


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.


What state of matter has molecules that are vibrating?

The state of matter that has molecules that are vibrating is the liquid state. In liquids, molecules are still close together but have enough energy to move past each other, leading to the vibrational motion.


What does a molecule for solid liquid and gas look like?

In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..


Is Molecule movement is smallest a solid liquid or Gas?

Molecule movement is the smallest in a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited freedom to move and vibrate. In liquids and gases, the molecules have more space and freedom to move, resulting in greater molecular movement.


What happens when you add kinetic energy to a solid?

When you add kinetic energy to a solid the molecules won't move


How fast does the molecules move for solid?

if we talk about the relative movement of molecules in solids the movement of molecules is slower than liquids and gases because in solids molecules are bound together with relatively stronger forces
