The particles in a typical solid are arranged in a tight matrix, whereas in a gas the particles can move around freely. In a solid (molecules being so tightly packed), the particles can only vibrate, not move or flow as those in a gas or liquids can. A solid, therefore, has a definite shape and a definite volume.
There are two types of solid:
Crystalline - made of crystals and have a have a regular repeating pattern.
Examples - snowflakes and salt
Amorphous - do not keep their shape permanently, can lose their shapes under certain conditions, and are not in regular repeating patterns.
Examples - glass, soap, and tar.

The particles in a crystalline solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.
Are are particles of a solid arranged?
yes.
Are solid particles arranged in a pattern?
Particles tightley packed together do not change position PS trees
What natural solid has its particles arranged in a crystal pattern?
mineral
In which two states are the particles randomly arranged?
liquid and solid
Solid whose particles are arranged in a lattice structure?
A Crystal
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles in a solid?
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
What are solids in which the particles are NOT arranged in a pattern?
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.
What is matter in which particles are arranged in fixed locations?
Particles are held (relatively) rigidly in place in a solid. They are held rigidly in place in a solid at absolute zero.
Particles are arranged in no particular order in this type of solid?
amorphous
what is a solid that is made up particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern?
A glass.
