Explain why gold is a solid?

the atoms are close together and vibrate very close to each other. there is not enough kinetic energy for the atoms to spread very far. if you were to heat it, you would increase the energy and it would become a liquid, but at room temperature, the atoms are close together. -Akilae


What is it about atoms and molecules in liquids and solids that keep them close to one another even though they are moving?

The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.


How do solids stay still?

Solids have compacted atoms and the atoms are so close that they are too compacted to shake or move.


Does electrcity flow more easily through liquid?

yes because the atoms are close but not very close so then the atoms vibrate against each other and let the electricity flow through.
