Do particles of a solid stay in place?

Answer 1

Solid State Welding is a welding process, in which two work pieces are joined under a pressure providing an intimate contact between them and at a temperature essentially below the melting point of the parent material. Bonding of the materials is a result of diffusion of their interface atoms.

IF WE REMEMBER ABOUT DIFFUSION IN WELDING WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT PARTICLE OR ATOM DIFFUSE AT HIGH TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE FROM ONE MATERIALS TO ANOTHER.

HERE IN SOLID WELDING BOTH PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE ( LESSER THAN THE MELTING POINT) IS THERE SO DIFFUSION OCCURS IN A BETTER WAY TO ACHIEVE WELDING

Answer 2

Of course, for example... Imagine a glass container or maybe a cup. The glass cup is a solid and it could contain liquids in that matter. Also if it's a solid but does not contain a liquid or gas it could still move... Jello is a solid but it still moves.

Answer 3

Yes. They are constantly vibrating, occasionally but rarely shifting between each other.

The only way for all of the particles to stop moving, is to get to 0 degrees Kelvin, or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit, although it has never been achieved on earth.

Answer 4

No. Particles like atom and molecules are fixed and only vibrate.

The electrons on the other hand move about the entire surface of conductors (not all but valence electrons). This phenomenon doesn't occur in insulators.

Answer 5

They stay in a fixed position which means they cannot move around, but they can and do vibrate. -Caramelpine

Answer 6

in a liquid, particles will take the shape of their container and can move- for example, water has currents and flows.
