No, the particles in a liquid are not held rigidly in place. If they were held rigidly in place, that substance would no longer be a liquid but instead be a solid. A liquid, by definition, has particles that are free to move around each while still being held together by intermolecular or interatomic forces. This is what allows liquids to freely move around and to fill up whatever container they are poured into.

In a solid are the particles are packed closely together but they can move past each other freely?
No. They are packed closely together, and can not move freely.
Why do solids have the highest density?
Its one of these...(i think a?) a. The particles are more massive than those in liquids. b. The intermolecular forces between particles are weak. c. The particles are packed closely together. d. The energy of the particles is very high. --------That answer up there is wrong---------- It would be C. the particles are packed closely together, why do people answer one question with other possible answers
How tightly are the particles held together in solids?
Yes, they are packed closely together
What is the definition for Packing of Particles?
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
What is a particle that are closely packed together?
Particles packed closely together is a solid.
Are particles in a solid closely packed and motionless?

In a solid are the particles are packed closely together but they can move past each other freely?
No. They are packed closely together, and can not move freely.
Which is measure of how closely particles are packed together?
The measurement of how closely particles are packed together is usually by state of matter. Gasses are measured as have particles that are further apart than liquids or solids for example.

The particles of a solid are packed closely together and don't have as much movement as the particles of a gas or liquid?
FalseThe particles of a solid are packed closely together and don'thave as much movement as the particles of a gas or liquid.True
What are things that are true about particles in a solid?
Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.
Are the particles of a solid packed closely together and don't have as much movement as the particles of a gas liquid?
yes
How tightly are the particles held together in solids?
Yes, they are packed closely together
What state of matter particles move the slowest and are closely arranged packed together?
solid
What phase has tightly packed particles?
The phase when the particles are most closely packed together is the solid form. liquid is farther apart, and gases are even farther.
What is the main idea of density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. It indicates how closely packed the particles are in a material. Objects with higher density have more mass packed into a smaller volume than objects with lower density.
