It depends on what medium it is in. If it is in a solid medium, the particles will be closely together, or vibrating. If it is in a liquid, the particles will be spreaded out and moving slowly. If it is in a gas, the particles will be in moving rapidly.

The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point. The wave moves ahead, the individual particles don't.The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point.

The maximum distance to which an oscillating or vibrating object moves from its central position is called amplitude.
Longitudinal wave: is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil left and right.

No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
It Moves the particles diffrent direction and that's what makes the difference :)

Sound molecules traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. It moves parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
The maximum distance to which an oscillating or vibrating object moves from its central position is called amplitude.
There are two types of waves: longitudinal and transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the wave moves parallel to the disturbance. In a transverse wave, the wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of disturbance in the medium. For example, in a vibrating string, the string moves up and down, but the pulse travels down the string. The wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the way the string moves. The amplitude of a wave is a measure of its size, or the distance between its peak and trough. It is also a measure of the amount of energyin a wave. While amplitude is hard to calculate for longitudinal waves, it is a fairly simple task to calculate in transverse waves.Instructions1 Find the point where the string (or other medium) is farthest from horizontal in one direction.2 Measure the distance between that point and the horizontal.3 Double that distance. This is the amplitude.
