All atoms and molecules are always in motion.
The average kinetic energy of an atom or molecule in any material is proportional to the temperature. This is true whether the material is solid, liquid or gas.
Caveat:
It is sometimes said that motion ceases at absolute zero in temperature. That is almost true, but there is something called quantum zero point motion that is present even at zero temperature and that complicated the question to a level that is beyond the current discussion.

∙ 12y agoNo, the particles in all things are moving. Slower moving particles mean that something is colder, but they never stop completely.

What are the properties of solids for kids?
The solids have definite shape they have definite volume they have high density they are packed ie.not compressible
What Has a a definite size but no definite shape?
Liquids. They will take the shape of whatever you pour them into. As opposed to solids. Hard to pour a brick into anything.
Solids maintain a definite shape and volume because their particles?
have a strong attractive force
Is a plant a solid?
its definitely not a gas or a liquid, so yes a plant is solid
What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Do not have a definite shape but they have a definite volume?
WATER has no definite shape but has definite volume.
What has definite volume and shape?
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
Solids have a definite shape and a definite what?
Volume
What Solids have a definite shape and a definite?
Volume
What are the characteristics of solids?
definite shape and volume. to keep it simple
What state of matter has no definitive state of volume and shape?
gas has no shape and no definite volume. liquids have no definite shape, but a definite volume, and solids have a definite volume and a definite shape
Do liquid does not have a definite shape but it does have a definite volume?
Yes, liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, compared to solids that have a definite shape and a definite volume or gasses that have neither a definite shape or volume.
What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
What have a definite shape and volume?
Solids.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Compare solids liquids and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.?
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
A liquid has a definite volume and what?
A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape. Solids have a definite volume and shape while gases have none of these properties.
