That depends on the state of matter. In a solid, they will simply vibrate back and forth; in a gas, they are free to move around; in a liquid, they are partially free to move around.

In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?


The molecules in one form of matter move more rapidly than in any other form of matter where would you find this form of matter'?

You would typically find this form of matter in the gaseous state, where the molecules have higher kinetic energy and move more rapidly compared to the molecules in solid or liquid states. Gas molecules have more freedom of movement and are not held tightly together like in solids or liquids.


What four properties does matter have?

Matter's property depends on how it's molecules are interacting(if they move,or not).The four properties of matter are solid,liquid,gas,and plasma.A solid matter's molecules don't move apart,yet the other three do.Liquid molecules do move apart ,but not by much.Gas molecules will move apart as far as they can.Plasma takes it even farther,the electrons in it even move apart from the rest of the molecule.


In what way are molecules related to the different states of matter?

Molecules are related to the different states of matter by how they are arranged and how they move. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In liquids, molecules are more spread out and can move past each other. In gases, molecules are far apart and move freely. These differences in molecular arrangement and movement determine the state of matter.


In which state of matter are the particles most free to move about?

In the gaseous state of matter, the molecules of a substance are most free to move about as there is little attractive forces between the neighboring molecules.


State of matter in which atoms or molecules can move but remain close?

This state of matter is the liquid.

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.


In what state of matter do molecules move fastest?

Molecules do not move faster in different states of matter, they simply have more space to move around in. To make something move faster you need kinetic energy (raise temp).


Molecules in gaseous matter move slowly is it true or false?

true
