It depends on the size of the particle. Very small particles like electrons have an intrinsic uncertainty in either their position ot their energy, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, so could not ever "fixed" in place
Larger particles such as molecules always move a little thermal energy, (heat) even at very low temperatures.

Have molecules in a place in a fixed position?
If you use classical model to describe gas molecules you will get the result: molecules of gas always move unless temperature of the gas is zero.
What state is it in when the attractions between particles are strong enough to hold the particles in a almost fixed positions?
It is in a solid state.
Are the particles in a solid free to move?
No. According to the Kinetic Particle Theory, the particles in a solid are fixed very close together in fixed positions. They are not free to move and can only vibrate about their fixed positions, due to the strong attractive forces between them. This explains why solids have fixed shapes.
Do particles have fixed size?
Particle size depends on the type of particle.
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.
Why solid have fixed shaped?
solids always have a fixed shape because the particles in a solid are stuck together which means there is no where for the particle to move.
Why solid have a fixed shape?

What is matter in which particles are arranged in fixed locations?
Particles are held (relatively) rigidly in place in a solid. They are held rigidly in place in a solid at absolute zero.
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
How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into glass?
The particles of a liquid retain the same volume but are not fixed in place. As they retain the same volume no matter what container they are in, it is possible to pour juice into a glass without the particles dispersing as the particles of a gas would. Because the particles of a liquid are not fixed in place, as in a solid, the liquid can flow and fit itself to the shape of the glass.
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 is the fixed continent theory?
The theory is the belief that the continents were always in the place they are today
Are particles of solids at rest in fixed positions?
In Newtonian terms, yes but otherwise no. Molecules are always in a state of vibration. Also, the term "fixed position" assumed a fixed frame of reference and Einstein's work showed that there is no such thing.
What kind of Matter particles are arranged in repeating geometric patterns?
Solids. Solids are the most rigid state of matter, so their particles are always fixed. Liquid particles have more freedom to move about, and gases have the most freedom.
How energy transferred through convection?
by The movement of heated particles of a gas or a liquid. convection cannot take place in solids because solids have fixed shape. particles like Pizza
