It all depends on your definition of move.... the atoms of a solid vibrate in place. Vibration is defined as oscillatory movement. The atoms move, but a very small amount.

Do atoms or molecules in solids have no motion?

solids have molecules that move until they reach a temperature called true zero where all atomic movement stops. true zero is a relly cold temperature


Which type of motion is associated with solids?

Solids typically exhibit vibrational motion, where atoms or molecules within the solid vibrate or oscillate around their equilibrium positions. This motion contributes to the rigidity and shape of solids.


What is true about the movement of atoms and molecules?

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion, vibrating and moving randomly. This movement is due to their kinetic energy. In gases, atoms and molecules move freely in all directions, while in liquids and solids, the movement is more restricted.


Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?

True. Atoms in a gas have higher kinetic energy and move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or solid due to the greater distance between them and the weaker intermolecular forces present in gases. This leads to gases having more freedom of movement compared to the more constrained motion of atoms in liquids and solids.


What do solids have to do with atoms?

Solids are made of atoms. In fact, so are most things.


Do the atoms of solids have space between them?

There is space between atoms of solids that is in the range of a couple of tenths of a nanometer.


Why do solids expand on heating?

That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.


Friction between solids can be most accurately define as the force that enhances the sliding motion of two surface that are touching each other?

if you on apex and it is not a true or false statement the answer is ((surfaces))


What particles are solids?

Solids can be made up of atoms, molecules, or ions.


Are atoms considered gases or solids?

Neither. Atoms are the building blocks that when put together become solids, liquids or gasses.


What is diffrance between amorphous solids and crystalized solids?

Crystalline solids have a particular geometric organization of their atoms. Amorphous solids do not.


Does solids have atoms that hold it in place?

All matter is made of atoms. Liquids, solids and gases are all made of atoms. It is the bond between atoms that make a substance solid or liquid.
