Molecules vibrate in a solid but they do not move from one place to another. Although these vibrations are small yet they result in a change in the position of molecules. So, we can say that molecules change position in a solid.

Do molecules of matter move in solids?
no
What are example of solids?
All metals except three are in solid form.Foer example:sodium.iron.gold.
What are the Molecular structure of solids gases and liquids?
in solids the molecules are rigid, hard to move, stuck together in liquids they are close together but can still move in gasses theyre far apart with alot of space between molecules, they can move very freely
Why are liquids and solids different?
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
What state of matter has particles that very close together and do not move?
solids
Do molecules of matter move in solids?
no
What state of matter has molecules that are vibrating?
It is the solid. The molecules in solid dont move much but they do move, just a bit.
What do the molecules of a gas do?
Move a lot faster then liquids and solids.
Why solids expand on heating?
That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.
How fast does the molecules move for solid?
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
Why convection cannot take place in solids?
because the process requires the formation of currents which is only possible in fluids (i.e solids and liquids). It is not possible for currents to develop in solids for the simple reason that the molecules in a solid are not free to move around and they are contained in their fixed positions.
How does heat make molecules move?
The heat energizes the molecules.The molecules of air will move here and there as they are free. Molecules of solids vibrate at there place.Due to heat the molecules get energized that is the main thing.
Which state of matter has the the slowest moving particles?
Solid
In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?

Why is the pull on liquids more noticeable then the pull on solids?
The molecules in solids are more solidly held in place; so they are not as easy to move. The molecules in liquids are not fixed, but are free to move around; so they can be pulled more easily.
