Yes they can vibrate because they can't move freely.
yes, particles in a solid vibrate in place so fast they look like they aren't moving.

They vibrate, but only ever so slightly. Remember that solid particles can only vibrate in a fixed position and cannot float about like fluids.

What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?

The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.


What is partical?

Particals is a solid,liquid and gas and there very close together.Particals vibrate but have fixed positions and they are held together by strong forces of attraction.


Have molecules in a place in a fixed position?

If you use classical model to describe gas molecules you will get the result: molecules of gas always move unless temperature of the gas is zero.


What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?

Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly


How a solid liquid and gas differ?

Particles in a solid are packed tightly together, and vibrate, but don't really move around. In liquid, they are fairly close together, but are not arranged in a particular pattern, and slide over and around each other. In a gas, the particles are spread out and in no regular arrangement and move around and vibrate at high speeds. Additionally, particles in a solid move slower than particles in a liquid or gas, particles in a liquid move somewhere in the middle, and gas particles move the fastest of all.

Particle model of liquid?

Liquid particles are closely arranged but they can move around each other. Solid particles are closely arranged and can only vibrate about a fixed position. Gas particles are far apart from each other and can move about in any direction.


How do heat particles?

When particles receive energy (like heat) usually it causes the particle to vibrate. If this particle is next to another particle, the vibration causes the particle next to it to vibrate. This vibration is the heat energy being given off, and colliding with the next particle, which then collides with the next particle, then the next, etc.This is the case with solid and liquid particles, however gas particles use convection, which is where the gas particle hits another particle, and so transfers some of the energy (such as heat) to that particle.Conduction ConvectionA;vibrate;B;vibrate:C A->->->;collide;B->->;collide;C

Are gas particles closely locked in position and can only vibrate?

No. This is a description for a solid.

How do particles in a solid move?

Particle in a solid, are soooo squeezed together, they cannot roam around freely. I remember that they vibrate. Although, particles in a liquid and gas, are separated and move quicker and further away from each other.

What causes the particles in a solid vibrate?

a wavelength can be add to a sound particle that couses a high vibration.particles are always moving and this means no matter if it's a solid, liquid, or gas, it will always have particles moving. Particles in a soild only vibrate because they have less kinetic energy.


Do gas particles vibrate while they move?

Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated


Do the particles that make up a solid move slower or faster than the particles that make up a gas?

Particles in a solid are held together by tight bonds, therefore only vibrate in a fixed position. Gases, however have a weaker or no bonds at all so the particles move about more about more freely.
