Yes but very slowly and they cannot move very far it looks kinda like this

In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..
Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.
In the solid state, molecules move the slowest. The particles are tightly packed together and have the least amount of energy to move around.
Molecules in liquid goes fast and its able to flow around. Molecules in solid aren't able to move around and is stuck together. Lastly, Molecules in gas are able to move around wicked fast and does not bunch together.
In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please
The molecules in a solid object are tightly packed together and vibrate in place. They have a fixed position and do not move around freely like in a liquid or gas.
Ice is a molecule of water (H2O) in the solid phase.
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
if we talk about the relative movement of molecules in solids the movement of molecules is slower than liquids and gases because in solids molecules are bound together with relatively stronger forces
Yes, molecules in a solid lump of sugar do vibrate in place but do not freely move around like in a liquid or gas due to a stronger attraction between them. This movement is known as thermal motion.
In solids, molecules have the greatest attractions for one another. That is why molecules in a solid barely move around or switch positions. In gases, the molecules move around quickly and freely, so their attractions are weak. Liquids are in between. So, to answer: solid.
No, molecules have more freedom of movement in the liquid state compared to the solid state. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and have limited translational and rotational movement. In liquids, molecules have more space to move around and slide past each other, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
