They don't move around per se, but the stay in one place and vibrate

∙ 13y agoThe individual atoms are bonded tightly together, so they can only vibrate back in forth. The atoms in solids stay in place.

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 are solids liquids and gases?
The particles of solids are very close and tight and are organised. The particles of liquids are randomly organised and are further apart. The molecules in gases are really far apart.
What happens to the motion of particles in a solid and liquid and gas?
In a solid the particles are packed tightly together in a more raged formation . in a liquid the particles move passing each other in a gas the particles move freely in the space they have
What is it calles when a solid does not have a orderly arrangement of particles?
Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.
Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are?
further apart and move more slowly.
Can solids move?
solid particles cannot move.
How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.
What move back and forth in place in particles?
solids
The particles in what move back and forth in place?
solids
Do sound travel faster in water or in air or solids?
Sound can't move in vaccum and need particles to move, it travels fastest in solids as it has highest amount of particles.
What solids made of?
Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
What is the particles of movement?
In the solids the particles are stuck together and can't move over each other.In the liquid the particles have small spaces to move in and move but not easily.In the gas the gas the particles have a lot of space to move in and move easily everywhere.
Why do solids stay the same size?
becuz the particles don't move
What state of matter has particles that very close together and do not move?
solids
A phase in which particles are held tightly together and dont move freely?
Solids
What substance is solids?
It is a substance that has a lot of particles that are packed together. The particles can not move becase the solid paticles are to strong.
