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.

Particle model of liquid?

Liquid particles are closely arranged but they can move around each other. Solid particles are closely arranged and can only vibrate about a fixed position. Gas particles are far apart from each other and can move about in any direction.


What are the states of matter from the least particle movement to the most particle movement?

The states of matter from least particle movement to most are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid, particles vibrate in fixed positions; in a liquid, particles move more freely but still have some cohesion; in a gas, particles move more rapidly and have no fixed shape or volume; in a plasma, particles are highly energized and move independently of one another.


What do the molecules in a solid object do?

The molecules in a solid object are tightly packed together and vibrate in place. They have a fixed position and do not move around freely like in a liquid or gas.


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.


How do particles conduct heat?

When particles receive energy (like heat) usually it causes the particle to vibrate. If this particle is next to another particle, the vibration causes the particle next to it to vibrate. This vibration is the heat energy being given off, and colliding with the next particle, which then collides with the next particle, then the next, etc.This is the case with solid and liquid particles, however gas particles use convection, which is where the gas particle hits another particle, and so transfers some of the energy (such as heat) to that particle.Conduction ConvectionA;vibrate;B;vibrate:C A->->->;collide;B->->;collide;C

Are the particles in a solid free to move?

In a solid, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions. While they do have some freedom of movement, they are generally not free to move around like particles in a liquid or gas due to the strong intermolecular forces holding them in place.


What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?

In a solid, particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement and vibrate in place. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely at high speeds. Solids have definite shape and volume, while gases expand to fill their container.


In which state particles held together but may move?

Particles may be held together in a solid state, where they maintain a fixed position in a regular arrangement but may still vibrate in place.


What is partical?

It seems like you may be referring to the word "particle." A particle is a small, indivisible unit of matter that is found in all physical substances. Particles can include atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons.


How do the particles in a solid move?

the particles in a solid are closely locked in position and can only vibrate


How do particles in a solid move?

Particle in a solid, are soooo squeezed together, they cannot roam around freely. I remember that they vibrate. Although, particles in a liquid and gas, are separated and move quicker and further away from each other.
