Comparing the three phases of water,molecules in the solid phase (ice)have the highest vibrational speed,and molecules in the gaseous phase (water vapor)have the slowest vibrational speeds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is false. Molecules in the solid phase (ice) have the lowest vibrational speed as they are closely packed and have limited movement. Molecules in the gaseous phase (water vapor) have the highest vibrational speed as they have more kinetic energy and are moving rapidly.
