* Constantly moving in random directions (Brownian motion)
* Colliding with each other
Molecules:
- Vibrating about equilibrium positions within chemical formulas and compounds with the following types of vibrations depending on molecular structure and composition::
- Stretching vibrations
- Bending vibrations
- Torsional/rotational vibrations
These motions and collisions give rise to various physical properties of matter, such as temperature, pressure, and diffusion.
