Do particles move faster in a solid liquid or gas?

Particles in a gas state move much faster than a liquid.

How do particles move in a solid liquid and gas?

gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.

What happens to the speed of particles when a solid becomes a liquid?

When a solid is heated the particles gain energy and start to vibrate faster and faster. At this point the solid is melting to form a liquid. The particles in the liquid are the same as in the solid but they have more energy.

How fast do gas particles move?

As a side note, gas molecules tend to move very fast. At 0 °C the average H2 molecule is moving at about 2000 m/s, which is more than a mile per second and the average O2 molecule is moving at approximately 500 m/s.

How fast do solid particles move?

In a solid, atoms are packed tightly together and move very slowly. In fact, they do not flow at all: they simply vibrate back and forth.

How fast do liquid particles move?

In its liquid form, water molecules move around slowly, sliding past each other. As the temperature drops or decreases, the water molecules gradually slow down. Eventually they stop moving and simply vibrate back and forth.

What happens to the particles of a gas when the gas changes into a liquid?

If a gas is cooled, its particles will eventually stop moving about so fast and form a liquid. This is called condensation and occurs at the same temperature as boiling. Hence, the boiling point and condensation point of a substance are the same temperature.

What is the speed of a gas molecule?

So the average speed of a gas molecule is about 500 m/sec. This is roughly the speed of sound in a gas 340 m/sec. So the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is related to the temperature of the gas.

How do particles move in a solid?

Solid In a solid, the attractive forces keep the particles together tightly enough so that the particles do not move past each other. Their vibration is related to their kinetic energy. In the solid the particles vibrate in place.

How fast do liquid molecules move?

Can gas be a solid?

Examples of Gas to Solid (Deposition) Under certain circumstances, gas can transform directly into a solid. This process is called deposition. Water vapor to ice – Water vapor transforms directly into ice without becoming a liquid, a process that often occurs on windows during the winter months.
