The primary motion in solids is very small amplitude vibrations of atoms around their equilibrium positions. The amplitude of the vibrations increases with increasing temperature up to the melting point of the solid, at which the solid becomes liquid and far more spatial motion is possible for the molecules.

How molecular motion changes as a substance changes from one state to another?
Molecular motion is less constrained in liquid than in solid and is less constrained in gas than in liquid.
Is benzene a covalent solid or molecular solid?
No, Benzene is a flammable liquid at normal temperature and pressure. It will freeze and become a solid if the temperature falls below its melting point, which is 42 oF (5.5 oC)
What term describes the disorder of random molecular motion?
Entropy
Which of the following could a magnet float over network solid semiconductor superconductor molecular solid?
A superconductor.
Absolute zero may be regarded as the temperature at which?
Molecular motion in a gas would cease
Which state of matter has the least molecular motion?
The solid state has the least molecular motion.
How would you describe the molecular motion of a solid?
Lethargic
Does the molecules in a solid have motion or energy?
As temperature of a solid is increased, molecular motion increases.Since, temperature of a solid is directly proportional to average vibrational kinetic energy of molecules of a solid, therefore, energy of a solid increases with an increase in temperature. So, it demonstrates that molecular motion is directly proportional to energy i.e. the higher the energy of solid, the higher is the molecular motion.
How molecular motion changes as a substance changes from one state to another?
Molecular motion is less constrained in liquid than in solid and is less constrained in gas than in liquid.
What is the difference between the molecular motion of a solid at a high temperature and the same solid at a lower temperature?
In a solid at a high temperature, the molecules tend to move rapidly, and vice versa when cooled.
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.
What is a soft nonconducting solid at room temperature?
a molecular soild
What kind of solid is CH3COOH?
It is a molecular solid.
Which organism which does not show molecular movement?
Molecules are constantly in motion. Whether they are free moving, as in a gas, or are vibrating in place, as in a solid object, they still move. an object that has reached the theoretical temperature of absolute zero would have no molecular motion, but absolute zero is purely theoretical and is thereby unattainable.
Is energy faster or slower when water changes from a gas to a solid?
To condense a subject you must reduce temperature. Reducing the temperature of a substance reduces the amount of heat that the object has, which means less thermal energy. Thermal energy is the energy of molecular motion, so when you reduce it, molecular motion slows.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
Is molecule movement is greastest a solid?
Molecular movement in a solid is very minimal. Molecular movement in liquids and gases are greater than in a solid.
