I think that a solid atom "vibrates" because they're trying to move, but the atoms are packed in so tightly that they do not have much space to move around. So, they vibrate because of their need to move and because fo the lack of space available for them to move
if we talk about the relative movement of molecules in solids the movement of molecules is slower than liquids and gases because in solids molecules are bound together with relatively stronger forces
No, particles in a solid can vibrate back and forth, side to side, and also rotate in fixed positions. The movement of particles in a solid is limited by their fixed positions in the structure of the solid.
No, particles in a solid are closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move around freely like in a liquid or a gas.
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
vibrate in place.
The particles in a solid are fixed,so they vibrate only.Due to their rigidity they are not able break free the intermolecular force of attraction and remain at a fixed point and vibrate continuously.
the particles in the solid vibrate so fast that they break free from their fixed positions
When for example a solid metal get heated up the molecules in that solid start to vibrate faster and faster the hotter the solid gets until they vibrate so fast that the solid reaches its melting point and starts to melt. That's at a very high temperature though.
Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.
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.
Well, it can vibrate very fast.
The atoms vibrate. The atoms of a solid do not move freely, they just vibrate. Hope this helps! :D
When you heat a solid, the atoms gain energy and vibrate faster. This increased vibration causes the atoms to move further apart, expanding the solid. If heated enough, the solid can undergo a phase change into a liquid or gas as the forces holding the atoms together weaken.
Technically, the molecules are close together and vibrate in place. They do not stay move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.

They vibrate.
