Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.

∙ 12y agoThe particles in a solid are close together, with little gaps in between, the particles in a liquid are loose and slip over each other, with slightly larger gaps and more free movement, the particles in a gas are completely free. they can move anywhere accessible and fill rooms/large spaces easily.

∙ 13y agosolid particles don't have enough energy to move out of their fixed position, but they do have enough energy to vibrate about their fixed position (we can't see the vibrations).

How are the particls of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a liquid are not attached to each other. The particles of a solid are.
How can the motions of particles in a solid be described?
The particles in a solid are closely locked in position and can only vibrate.
Particles have an orderly arrangement in what type of solid?
Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.
What can particles in a solid do?
they can vibrate
Could jelly be a solid and why?
yes because the particles in the jelly are not a spread out enough to be a liquid were as a solid would have particles tight together.
How do particles behave in solid?
how do particles behave in a solid state
Are particles far apart in a solid?
no but the particles in a solid vibrate
Why liquid particles did not join to the solid particle?
liquid particles do not join the solid particles because the particles of solid are very tightly packed but this is not in the case of liquid
Can solid particles move?
solid particles cannot move.
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
How are the particls of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a liquid are not attached to each other. The particles of a solid are.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
How do particles of a solid move?
If the object is completely solid the particles don't move
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.
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.
What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.
What do the particles of a solid do when the solid sublime?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.
