The particles in a solid are fixed,so they vibrate only.Due to their rigidity they are not able break free the intermolecular force of attraction and remain at a fixed point and vibrate continuously.

How do particles of a solid move?

If the object is completely solid the particles don't move


How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?

As particles change state from solid to liquid, they gain energy that allows them to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. As heat is added to the system, particles in the solid gain enough energy to break free of their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the transition to a liquid state.


Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?

No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.


Does a solid have a particle speed?

it depends on how fast you pour a liquid eg: your puring a glass of water down the sink and you pure it drop drop by drop that is slow or your puring lots down at once. basicaly it depends on how fast you are puring


How would you characterize the diffusion of solid liquid and gas?

In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles are close but can move past each other. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.


Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?

No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.


Can the particles of a solid move?

no


The particles in blank move back and forth in place?

Can the particles of a solid move around?

Yes, the particles of a solid can vibrate in place but cannot move around freely like particles in a liquid or gas.


Does gas have fast moving particles?

yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
