What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?

If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.

What state of matter has particles that very close together and do not move?
solids
Which state of matter do particles stay close together yet are able to move past one another?
If the bits of matter are close together and move slowly, the matter is a GAS
What depends upon how close the individual particles are together?
The state of matter depends on the closeness of the particles. Gases have particles that are very far apart and solids are close together. This is determined by the strength of attraction of these particles to one another.
Which state of matter has particles that are close together but able to slide past each other?
That would be liquid because in a solid, they are stuck and in a gas, they are far apart but in a liquid the particles move around but are still close together.
When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
Which state of matter expand the least?
solid because the particles are close together and they have no space to move around ;)
Which state has state particles that are the closest together?
This is the solid state of matter.
How will you show that by applying pressure particles of matter can be brought close together?
by applying pressure the particles of matter come and the intermolecular space between them shorten and they change their state from gas to liquid and the intermolecular space between the particles of liquid is more than that of gas.
Which state of matter has the strongest forces of attraction between particles?
The state of matter that has the strongest bond is called a solid. Liquids are another state of matter, however, they provide the weakest bond.
In which state of matter are particles packed very tightly together?
Solid !
What state of matter has atoms colliding and close together?
solid state
The state of matter in which particles are close to each other but do not remain in a fixed position?
A liquid.
