Molecules are composed of particles. A solid is composed of molecules. I recommend you search the definition of a molecule so you can better understand.

What happens to particles when solid dissolves?
they separate into either molecules or ions.
The thermal energy of an object is created by the?
Movement of particles
When are molecules of a substance in motion?
Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
Why does a solid have a specific shape?
A solid has definite shape because when particles in any element are cooled down to it's freezing point (becoming a solid), the particles begin to pack together in a particular pattern resulting in the solid's distinct shape.
If enough energy is added to a solid it will change state and particles in the solid will?
When heating a solid to its melting point, the molecules in the solid began to move and slide past one another becoming a liquid.
Are the molecules in coffee bonded?
In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.
What happens to particles when solid dissolves?

Movement of particles
Are there strong forces of attractions between particles in a solid?
There are strong forces of attraction between particles in a solid.
What happens to the particles of a solid it becomes a liquid?
The molecules in the individual solid particles break free of their regular rigid framework by vibrating more energetically. Eventually the particles of the solid lose their shape and fuse together as a pool of liquid.
Which state of matter has the the slowest moving particles?
Solid
What happens to solid or liquid when reduced to smaller particles?
the reason is because the molecules casing the pressure inhibit the molecules of the material.
In a crystal what are the particles arranged in?
The components of the solid material (atoms or molecules) are ordered in a a crystal lattice.
A state of matter that contains particles that are tightly linked together in a definite shape?
In SOLIDS, molecules are most tightly bonded together.
How the particles in matter move?
It depends which state of matter you are referring to -- solid, liquid or gas. Solid: molecules vibrate in place Liquid: molecules are moving faster than a solid but slower than a gas. gas: molecules are moving at a high speed hope this helps :)
When are molecules of a substance in motion?
Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.
Why do solids have definite shape?
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
