because they have a larger mass and require a greater energy to move at the same speed.

KE=1/2mv2 where m is mass, v is velocity and KE is kinetic energy

so for the same energy if the mass is doubled then v2 is halved, resulting in a slower speed

Yes in a way but scientifically solid particles don't move at all gas particles actually move really fast

No, particles move faster due to the increased amount of energy.

Yes,Heat gives the particles energy to move with so when there is no heat the particles are not being given energy

Not necessarily, though if it has the same kinetic energy as a lighter particle, the heavier particle will move more slowly.

yes, when particles are cold the move slower. take water and ice for example when the water is warm is is a liquid and it moves all over but when its cold it turns into ice. when its ice the particles don't move.

Why do smaller particles move faster in water?

Because of the heat in the water.


How particles would move in gel electrophoresis according to size?

During gel electrophoresis, the smaller particles move faster than the larger ones. The end of the gel where the samples are loaded is called the sample origin. Samples move from the origin toward the opposite electrode according to size. At the end of the run, smaller particles will have migrated farther from the origin and the larger ones will be found closer to the origin

Particles do not move faster in a vacuum. Particles move faster when the temperature increases.

Which gas from among methane and hydrogen will diffuse the fastest and why?

Hydrogen will diffuse faster. It's particles are smaller, so with the same kinetic energy they move faster.


Which diffuse faster heavy particles or light particles?

In general lighter particles should diffuse faster than heavier particles, this could be extrapolated from the relationship to mass, volume, and energy. If we look at particles of all the same, ideal, substance, we would see that an object with less mass would be smaller but would also require less energy to move. That is, at the same temperature a particle of lower mass would move faster than a similar particle of heavier mass. We also see that smaller particles also maximize surface area/mass - this is also conducive to faster diffusion.
