Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which state of matter do molecules have the least freedom of movement?
  • Step 1: Understand the three main states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Step 2: Know that in solids, molecules are tightly packed together.
  • Step 3: Realize that because the molecules are so close, they can only vibrate in place.
  • Step 4: Compare this to liquids, where molecules are close but can slide past each other, and gases, where molecules are far apart and move freely.
  • Step 5: Conclude that solids have the least freedom of movement for their molecules.
