A physical state composed of particles that vibrate in a fixed position is?
solid
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
Do liquids have closely packed particles in fixed positions?
No, liquids have loosely-packed particles that move about. On the other hand, solids are said to be closely packed in fixed position.
What description of atomic motion describes a solid?
The molecules vibrate around a fixed position. (platoweb)
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
What is the motion in solid iodine?
The particles vibrate in a fixed position
A physical state composed of particles that vibrate in a fixed position is?
solid
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Does the particle in a gas vibrate in their fixed position?
Yes they can vibrate because they can't move freely.yes, particles in a solid vibrate in place so fast they look like they aren't moving.
Are particles in this state of matter keep their shape occupy a fixed volume and vibrate in a fixed position a liquid?
Nope, that's a solid.
What happens to the particles when a candle is burning?
The particles which are in a fixed position because the candle is a solid heat up and vibrate more this makes the candle expand
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
Particles in a solid cannot move around they can?
The particles in a solid vibratre in a fixed position. Applying more force will allow them to move more freely
What happens to a liquids particles when freezed?
If I am not wrong..this is what I learnt in chemistry. When a liquid is being frozen, the particles of that liquid will lose kinetic energy and slow down, causing them to move closer together. Thus, as the gaps between the particles decrease and the particles themselves get into a fixed position, it becomes a solid & the particles [only] vibrate in their fixed position. =D
How fast to particles move in a solid?
The particles in a solid are fixed,so they vibrate only.Due to their rigidity they are not able break free the intermolecular force of attraction and remain at a fixed point and vibrate continuously.
What can particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?
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.
What causes a solid to have a definite shape?
A solid has a definite shape because the particles in a solid are tightly packed together and all fixed into one position to where they can only vibrate.
