Because only the particles are packed together like that the solid can have define shape and volume. If they not packed together that are liquid.So we can use this point (the particles are packed together) to know what is that? Solid, Liquid or Gas. ---- The particles of a solid are packed tightly together, the particles of a liquid can move around but are still touching each other, and the particles in a gas are free to wizz around.

∙ 11y agoIn a solid, particles are still constantly moving (Look up Kinetic Theory for more information) but are locked into a specific structure. So instead of atoms or molecules moving around and bumping into each other, they vibrate while remaining in the same area. (Electrons, protons and neutrons [sub-particles] can still move around in the atom, but again, the atoms are locked into a structure specific to that substance.

What are the major difference between a gas and solids or liquids?
solids - tightly packed and unable to move liquids- tightly packed but able move gases- spread out and able to move
Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)
Why solids are rigid?
Solids are rigid and hard because they have no definite shape and volume and they're tightly packed
What Name a property of liquids that they do not share with solids?
Liquids can move and can change places while the solids are tightly packed with each other and cannot move or change places.
Why are the gases highly compressible while solids are almost incompressible?
gases are highly compressible as there molecules have lots of spaces between them while in molecules of solids there is not much space and they are tightly packed .
Why the particales in solids are rightly packed?
No
What are some of the characteristics of solids?
tightly packed atoms
What is composed of tightly packed molecules?
Solids, usually.
What are the major difference between a gas and solids or liquids?
solids - tightly packed and unable to move liquids- tightly packed but able move gases- spread out and able to move
In which state of matter are particles packed tightly together infixed potions?
Solids
Why do solids diffuse?
solids can diffuse but not in an easy way because they are to tightly packed together
Why are solid rigid?
because the particle in solids are tightly packed
Why solid are rigid?
because the particle in solids are tightly packed
Are the particles of gas packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)

How tightly are the particles held together in solids?
Yes, they are packed closely together
Atoms are most likely packed in?
Well, this could be 2 things, a solid or a property called density. Solids are tightly packed atoms, while Density is how packed the atoms are.
