air molecules in cold air exert more pressure because they are closer together and collide more often

Yes. Cold air masses have higher density, because the molecules are closer together. That makes them have higher pressure because there is more mass per unit volume pressing down.The molecules are closer together because they are colder, and, with less energy, which is the same as temperature, they vibrate less, so that causes them to move closer together.
No, cold fronts typically have steeper slopes than warm fronts. Cold fronts tend to move more quickly and have a more pronounced temperature difference across the front, resulting in a steeper slope. Warm fronts are more gradual in their slope and advance more slowly.
Warm air is less dense than cold air because the molecules in warm air have more energy and are more spread out, resulting in lower density. Cold air is denser because the molecules are closer together and moving slower.
heat causes warm air to occupy more space than colder air.
Warm air masses are less dense than cold air masses because warm air molecules have more energy and are more spread out, leading to lower pressure. Cold air masses are denser because cold air molecules are closer together and have less energy, resulting in higher pressure.
