The particles in a solid move back and forth in place.
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
Yes, the particles of a solid can vibrate in place but cannot move around freely like particles in a liquid or gas.
solid
vibrate in place.
No, the particles of a solid will not mix by diffusion. Diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but in a solid, the particles are fixed in place and cannot move around to mix with each other.
The particles in a solid form a regular or fixed arrangement called a crystal lattice. This arrangement gives solids a definite shape and volume. The particles vibrate in place but do not move past one another, leading to the solid's rigid structure.
The particles in solids move back and forth in place. This is due to the vibrating motion of the particles within a fixed position in a solid structure.
First, the molecules in a liquid are held together by molecular bonds.. The particles move somewhere between the state of a solid (very rigid and ordered.. no movement) and a gas (no arrangement, spread out, fast moving).. See that liquid particles move and are only locally bound to one another.. The hotter they are, the faster they move.
If the object is completely solid the particles don't move
The state of matter of a substance is determined by the arrangement of its particles. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have particles that are tightly packed and vibrating in place, liquids have loosely packed particles that can move past one another, and gases have particles that are far apart and move freely.
No, particles in a solid are closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move around freely like in a liquid or a gas.
