Which state of matter has slowest molecules?

The particles in solid are generally linked to each other through electrostatic forces. They barely move when force is applied (unless it's brittle). They don't get enough space to move around as a result their speed decreases , they can't keep their usual speed like in gaseous or liquid state.

What is slowest in a solid?

Solids diffuse the slowest as the particles in solids do not move from their fixed positions.

What state of matter moves the fastest?

Because the particles are freer to move around in gases than in solids or liquids, gas particles move the fastest. Like a liquid, a gas flows and takes the shape of its container. But the density of particles in a gas is so low that an increase in pressure can move the particles closer together.

Which state of matter has the least energy?

Matter in its solid state has the lowest amount of thermal energy (for that type of matter). Because solids have less thermal energy than liquids or gasses, the atoms in their solid state move very little.

Why is diffusion slowest in solid?

For diffusion to work, the particles must be able to move around. This means that diffusion does not happen in solids – the particles in a solid can only vibrate and cannot move from place to place.

Do solid particles move fast or slow?

Solids - vibrational (and rotational); moving very slowly. Liquids - vibrational, rotational, and translational; moving quickly. Gases - vibrational, rotational, and translational; moving very quickly.

What is the fastest to slowest rate of diffusion?

Neon is the fastest. Chlorine is the slowest.

Why does sound travels slowest in gas?

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster. Sound travels most slowly through gases because the molecules of a gas are farthest apart.

Does light travel slowest through solids?

Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

Does gas have mass?

Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions.

Is there 5 states of matter?

The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

What state of matter is rain?

Clouds, snow, and rain are all made of up of some form of water. A cloud is comprised of tiny water droplets and/or ice crystals, a snowflake is an aggregate of many ice crystals, and rain is just liquid water. Water existing as a gas is called water vapor.

Do gas particles move fast or slow?

In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.
