It depends which state of matter you are referring to -- solid, liquid or gas.
Solid: molecules vibrate in place
Liquid: molecules are moving faster than a solid but slower than a gas.
gas: molecules are moving at a high speed
hope this helps :)
When matter is heated the molecules in it move faster.
The state of matter with particles that move very rapidly is the gaseous state. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, colliding with each other and the walls of their container at high speeds.
two states of matter that move freely are the liquids and plasma
Particles in matter move back and forth due to thermal energy, which causes them to vibrate. This vibration is a result of the kinetic energy of the particles constantly changing direction.
There is no phase of matter that has particles that do not move UNLESS the material is a SOLID at a temperature of ABSOLUTE ZERO.
faster. and matter then would move slower
faster
They move faster.
plasma
When matter is heated the molecules in it move faster.
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.

plasma
