The molecules in a gas are moving aster than molecules in a li!uid. The molecules in a gas can move randoml" at high speed but molecules in a li!uid can onl" slide over each other As the temperature is increased# the speed o both o the molecules o li!uid and gases $ill increase. %olid particles are packed ver" close together $hile gas particles are ver" ar apart. Thus# there are more particles packed per unit volume in a solid. %olid particles vibrate about their i&ed positions due to strong orces o attraction. 'n gas# the orces o attraction are ver" $eak. (pon gaining heat# the" move aster and urther apart. 2)a*+ , +2%* )a2%*. . )o. o mole o )a*+ . . . . . . . , 2+2
