particles arranged in a solid are in a tight manner. where as a gas's particles can move or are free. the solid, being so tightly packed, the particles can only vibrate, not move or flow like a gas's or liquid's can. a solid has a definite shape and a difenate volume, to maintain this the solid must have particles that are packed tightly together. there are two types of solid:

Crystalline - made of crystals and have a have a regular repeating pattern.

Examples - snowflakes and salt

Amorphous - do not keep their shape permanently, can lose their shapes under certain conditions, and are not in regular repeating patterns.

Examples - glass, soap, and tar.

Are crystalline and amorphous solids?

Crystalline Solids are when the particles form a regular repeating pattern. Amorphous solids have particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.


How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?

The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.


What can you tell me about the particles in solids?

Particles in solids are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, which gives solids a definite shape and volume. The particles in solids vibrate in fixed positions but do not move around freely like in liquids or gases. This arrangement of particles in solids gives them high density and strong intermolecular forces.


Particles have an orderly arrangement in what type of solid?

What is it calles when a solid does not have a orderly arrangement of particles?

Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.

What is the name of solids whose particles are arranged in a lattice structure?

Crystalline solids have particles arranged in a lattice structure. This regular and repeating pattern of particles gives crystalline solids their well-defined shape and distinct properties.
