Well, for atoms to stop moving, the temperature would have to be at 0 K, aka absolute zero. However, that's theoretically impossible. Anyway, solid molecules barely move, "vibrating" against each other in a tightly packed space. For liquid molecules, they can slide past each other and move about, but there's not much space between the particles. As for gas, the particles are much faster than particles of solid or liquid, and the particles move about freely, bumping into each other.

Which organizes the phases of matter from the least particle motion to the greatest particle motion?
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
Examples of the nine types of solution according to physical state?
These nine types of solution are solid to solid solid to liquid solid to gas liquid to solid liquid to liquid liquid to gas gas to solid gas to liquid gas to gas
Molecular motion of a gas?
Solid particles vibrate while locked in place. As they receive more energy, particles speed increases. Once the particles have enough energy they break apart and slide past each other as a liquid. The particles speed continues to increase as energy is added. Finally, they gain enough energy to break free and move independently as a gas.
Is a feather a liquid or solid or gas?
a feather is a solid
How each state changes and what it is called?
* solid to liquid: melting* liquid to solid: freezing* liquid to gas: vaporization* gas to liquid: liquefaction* solid to gas: sublimation* gas to solid: deposition
How does the motion of the particles change wen waterchsanges from liquid to a solid to a liquid to get gas?
bye
Are molecules of a substance in motion only as a gas?
No, they are in motion in a liquid as well. In a solid they vibrate in place.
Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?
Solid
Difference between solid liquid and gases in fluidity?
What is the difference between solid and gas in terms of their fluidity
What are the general classes of colloids?
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
How the arrangement and motion of the particle change when a solid melts a liquid boils a gas condensesa liquid freezes?
When a solid melts to become liquid, or a liquid boils to become a gas, the arrangement of particles gets farther apart and less structured, and the motion of the molecules becomes more random and they move faster. The opposite happens when a gas condenses to become a liquid, or when a liquid freezes to become a solid.
Which organizes the phases of matter from the least particle motion to the greatest particle motion?
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
What is it called when something changes from solid to liquid?
solid to liquid= meltingliquid- solid= freezingliquid to gas= vaporization (There is two forms- boiling and evaporation. The difference is that evaporation happens on the surface of the liquid, and boiling happens throughout.)gas to liquid= condensationgas to solid= depositionsolid to gas= sublimation
Energy related to the motion or position of matter is?
matter is classified as solid liquid and gas
What is a flower a solid liquid or gas?
solid
What is the process of converting a gas to a liquid is called?
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
What is gas a solid liquid or a gas?
Is a pencil a solid liquid or gas
