Which state of matter do particles move very slowly?
a solid has a definite shape and volume.its particles are very close together ,and they do not move very fast.
Why does a solid expands on heating?
The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)
Why do solids do not stay the same shape?
Because the solid molecules are joined with very high inter molecular force in case of liquid this force is not very high.No. It is because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly
Are particles of a solid motionless?
no. only at -273 degrees is everything motionless
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
What are the particles doing solid?
The particles are moving very slowly.

How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
As particles change state from solid to liquid, they gain energy that allows them to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. As heat is added to the system, particles in the solid gain enough energy to break free of their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the transition to a liquid state.
What do particles in a solid look like?
Particles in a solid are closely packed together in a fixed, regular pattern. They vibrate in place but do not move around freely like particles in a gas or liquid. The arrangement of particles in a solid gives it a definite shape and volume.

Can molecules in a solid move around?
Yes but very slowly and they cannot move very far it looks kinda like this . ... .. .. .. . . .. . .... ... .... ... . . .. . ... ... .. . ... . . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . ..... .. . .. . .. . . . . .. . .. . . ... . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
How would you characterize the diffusion of solid liquid and gas?
In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles are close but can move past each other. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.
In what state the atoms move the fastest?
Particles in the gaseous state move at a very high rate and have a large effect on each other. Particles on a liquid state move slower but still have a measurable effect on each other. Particles in a solid state move very slowly and have little effect on each other.
Why does a sound wave travels faster in a solid than a gas?
Compressibility: solids have less of it while gases have more. This is related to the density, or a measure of how close the particles involved are. When you put energy into moving a solid, the solid particles adjacent to that canot move very far without either forcing distortion in the particles of the solid or making further movement in the solid. Because distorting a solid is usually a lot harder than simply moving it, the wavefront will move immediately through the solid, and hence travel quicker. But in a gas, the particles are very far apart and not firmly attached. they can move around and be compressed much, much much more easily than in a solid. This means the particles will "bunch up" in pressure peaks, and these peaks will slowly move onto adjacent particles, where they will be again compressed and the whole process continues. Thus, the wavefront moves much more slowly in a gas. Note that if the gas is pressurised a lot, the sound will travel quicker, because the particles are much closer and there is less ability for them to move around each other without transmitting the wave onwards.
What do particles do in a plasma?
They move very slowly, and make out with each other and get it on like donkey kong!
Can the particles in a solid move?
yes but not very well they are in one big bunch that vibrates
