"Rigidly" is an adverb that describes the manner in which something is done in a strict, inflexible, or unbending way. It implies a lack of flexibility, adaptability, or willingness to change.

Which matter are particles held rigidly?

Particles are held together rigidly in solids due to strong intermolecular forces and the fixed arrangement of particles. The particles in solids are closely packed and do not move around freely, resulting in a fixed shape and volume for the solid material.


What is matter in which particles are arranged in fixed locations?

A crystal is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of nucleation and growth is known as crystallization.


Does a solid have particles that are held rigidly in place?

Yes, the particles are held compactly and tightly in place.


Is density particles closely packed together?

No, the particles in a liquid are not held rigidly in place. If they were held rigidly in place, that substance would no longer be a liquid but instead be a solid. A liquid, by definition, has particles that are free to move around each while still being held together by intermolecular or interatomic forces. This is what allows liquids to freely move around and to fill up whatever container they are poured into.


How are liquids particles packed?

In liquids, particles are close together but not rigidly arranged like in solids. The particles can move past each other, giving liquids the ability to flow and take the shape of their container. This allows liquids to have a definite volume but not a definite shape.
