Question

Discuss the molecules in solids, liquids and gases. Include how the molecules move, including the speed of the molecules and the

space between the molecules.

Answer 1

Molecules in solids are tightly packed because the atoms are freezed together. Molecules in liquids are loosely packed because atoms are broken down and can move anywhere. Molecules in gases are free; the atoms can move or spread anywhere.

Solids do not move; hence no speed.

Liquids move and slide past past each other.

Gases move freely at high speeds
