Do liquids have closely packed particles in fixed positions?
No, liquids have loosely-packed particles that move about. On the other hand, solids are said to be closely packed in fixed position.
What compare the solid in liquid?
In a solid state atoms do not move much. They just vibrate in a fixed position. In a liquid state atoms move around frequently and do not stay in fixed positions.
At its freezing point do the paricles of a solid vibrate so fast that they break free from their fixed positions?
true
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
What is it called when particles are in a fixed position but can. Vibrate?
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
What atoms vibrate around a fixed point but do not change positions?
Solid
What do you know about solid molecules?
The molecules in a solid have less energy than those in gases and liquids. They vibrate about fixed positions. Their inter molecular forces are very strong compared to liquids and gases.
What do you know about a solid molecule?

Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Do liquids have closely packed particles in fixed positions?
No, liquids have loosely-packed particles that move about. On the other hand, solids are said to be closely packed in fixed position.
Properties of the three states of matter?
Solids: Atoms are not free to move about; they vibrate about their fixed positions Liquids: The particles are free to move about by sliding over each other Gases: The particles more about randomly at high speeds
What compare the solid in liquid?
In a solid state atoms do not move much. They just vibrate in a fixed position. In a liquid state atoms move around frequently and do not stay in fixed positions.
Does molecules always have a movement in solid sustances?
The molecules only vibrate about their fixed positions in solids.
What happens to objects when it melts?
the particles in the solid vibrate so fast that they break free from their fixed positions
At its freezing point do the paricles of a solid vibrate so fast that they break free from their fixed positions?
true
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
How does a solid molecule move?
they vibrate around fixed points
