False. They will vibrate more rapidly then atoms in solid or liqued states because they are not attached to other atoms (in an overly simplified definition).

Gas particles vibrate faster, than liquids, and so the hotter the temperature the faster the vibration, and the more the gas will expand.

True - but there are fewer particles, wheras a solid or liquid is dense with particles.
