Particles in a solid are always moving . They vibrate rapidly about their fixed positions . Their vibration speed depends on the temperature of the solid . The higher the temperature , the faster is the vibration ( movement ) .

∙ 14y agoThe "speed" is measured in kilojoules because it is the kinetic energy that you are measuring. There is not alot of energy in a solid because the molecule (atoms) that make up a solid is very close together and there is not much motion. However their is some energy, however small, because the molecules do vibrate.

∙ 12y agoThe average speed of the atoms within a solid is that object's temperature.

How does the spacing and speed of atoms determine a sibstance's state of matter?
In a solid, the spacing of the atoms is the closest, and the speed of the atoms is the slowest. In a liquid, the atoms are farther apart, but still slide past one another, and the speed of the atoms is greater than in the solid, but not fast enough to escape. In a gas, the atoms are far apart and do not affect one another very much, the speed of the atoms is the greatest and the atoms are able to escape the liquid state.
What happens when amorphous solid breaks?
If you break a solid, the atoms will seperate from eachother
What is the entropy of a solid based on?
The arrangement of the atoms
Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?
it is true atoms in a gas move faster than a liquid and atoms in a liquid move faster than atoms in a solid
Which state of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Solid !

Are carbon atoms solid?
Yes, Carbon atoms are solid :)
What are Solid that have repeating patterns of atoms?
The type of solid that has repeating patterns of atoms are crystals.
Does a dissolving proses speed up with a warmer solvent?
yes it does because when you dissolve with a warmer solvent (liquid) the atoms are more spread out because it is closer to be gas and the solute (solid) atoms can go into the gaps of the atoms and then it dissolves easier
What is the force between atoms to solid?
The force between atoms of a solid is inter-particle force.
What happens when amorphous solid breaks?
If you break a solid, the atoms will seperate from eachother
What is the entropy of a solid based on?
The arrangement of the atoms
Why are gas can be compressed into smaller volume but solid cannot?
The atoms in air are farther apart than the atoms in a solid.
Are the atoms of sulphur in the liquid the same as the atoms in solid sulphur?
The atoms in a liquid are the same as the atoms in a solid. They are simply arranged in a different way, and have different energy and different intermolecular forces.
What is solid state?
A solid matteral with little movement of atoms.
What vibrates if you heat a solid?
The atoms vibrate. The atoms of a solid do not move freely, they just vibrate. Hope this helps! :D
What is the distance between Si atoms in solid silicon?
2.22 angstroms is the distance between Si atoms in solid silicon.
