this is the movement of atom, molecules or parties in matter
Answers
Answer:
Molecular motion is defined as the movement of constituent particles or molecules in a certain direction. The molecular motions are affected by heat and temperature. This is because the temperature is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules and represents the motion of molecules.
Explanation:
Anything that has mass is made up of matter – an all-encompassing word for atoms and molecules that make up our physical world. We describe this matter as existing in states (sometimes referred to as phases). Most people are familiar with three states of matter – solids, liquids and gases – but there are two more that are less commonly known but just as important – plasmas and Bose-Einstein condensates.
It is important to understand the particle nature of matter. The particles that make up matter are not ‘small bits of solid’ or ‘small drops of liquid’ but atoms and molecules. The physical characteristics of those atoms and molecules decide its state.
Solid
Something is usually described as a solid if it can hold its own shape and is hard to compress (squash). The molecules in a solid are closely packed together – they have a high density.
