It can be atoms or molecules moving in liquids. This occurs when the forces of attraction between the atoms/molecules are weak enough to melt from a solid but strong enough to prevent it from reaching a gaseous state. This depends on the substances intermolecular forces i.e. Dipole-dipole or Hydrogen Bonds, and/or London forces. Melting and boiling points depend on the strength of these forces. For us, boiling is always thought of as 100 C, because water is a common substance. But Neon for example, BOILS at -269 C, because the only forces present are London forces, which are extremely weak.

Particles in a solid cannot move. They can only vibrate in place. Particles in a liquid can overcome some attraction between them. Therefore, they slide past each other.

Particles in a gas can overcome almost all attraction. They mover so fast they bounce of each other.

In solids particles oscillate around a fixed position.

In liquids particles slide around one another slowly migrating around the bulk but constrained to remain with the rest of the liquid particles.

In gases particles fly around occasionally banging into one another in a relatively random motions.

it depends what level you want to look at and which gas. the way you describe the movement differs at a quantum level?

Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?

it is true atoms in a gas move faster than a liquid and atoms in a liquid move faster than atoms in a solid


Can a solid become a liquid by slowing it's atoms?

well, a solid has the slowest atoms, they are placed closely together, and because of that, they cannot move much. A liquid has faster atoms, placed slightly farther apart, allowing them to move faster. So, no, liquid atoms are faster than solid atoms P.S. just so you know, the atoms of a gas move the fastest, and are placed the farthest apart of the three


What are atoms of the substance that are farther apart and move faster than a solid yet not as fast as a gas?

Liquid.


A nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other as in a gas or liquid?

Matter only comes in three forms; solid, liquid and gas. There is no other form of matter that allows atoms or molecules to move about freely.


Is air a liquid solid or gas?

obviously a gas as you cant see all gases and the paritcles (atoms) inside are free and move around fast

When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?

Liquid to gas


Why water is liquid?

Water is not always liquid. It is only liquid between 00C and 1000C. Below that it is solid, above that it is a gas. The temperature determines how fast the atoms and molecules move about. In a solid they are too cold to move about. When they get hotter they move about relatively freely (liquid), and when they really get going, they are as free as the air!
