How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
What best describes the motion on iron atoms in solid iron?
Kinetic energy best describes the motion of the particles in a piece of steel.
Do constituents atom in the metal can move?
Constituent atoms in any solid can show vibratory motion.So, constituent atoms of metal can move and can exhibit vibratory motion.
What do most liquids become when they change into a solid?
Three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gaseous. Of course there is a fourth state called ionic state of matter. In solid atoms or molecules are well packed and they form mostly crystal structure. In liquid, atoms or molecules or ions will be in random motion. In gas, the motion will be severe and the attraction between atoms or molecules or ions will be almost negligibly small. So when liquid is changed into solid the free roaming atoms or molecules will be arrested and they are bound to form lattice and start to have lattice vibrations.
Describe the motion of the particles of a solid as it cools from -250c to -273.15c?
i don't know i'm only in 6th grade.
Is atom always moving?
Atoms are in constant motion. Even in a solid, the atoms are vibrating.
How would you describe the molecular motion of a solid?
Lethargic
How is the motion of atoms in a solid different from those in a fluid?
In a liquid the whole atoms moves from one position to another. In a solid the atom vibrates but does not change its location.
How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
What best describes the motion on iron atoms in solid iron?
Kinetic energy best describes the motion of the particles in a piece of steel.
What is the motion of solid?
The primary motion in solids is very small amplitude vibrations of atoms around their equilibrium positions. The amplitude of the vibrations increases with increasing temperature up to the melting point of the solid, at which the solid becomes liquid and far more spatial motion is possible for the molecules.

Are atoms and molecules that make up a rock never moving?
atoms and molecules that make up a rock do move.
Describe how the motion and arrangement of particles in a substance as the substance freezes?
The particles get attracted to each other, forming a solid.
