They are close together and vibrate in place, thus they form a solid structure that has a definite shape and volume.

What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?

Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.


What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?

If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.


In which state of matter would particles show the least amount of motion?

In a solid state, particles exhibit the least amount of motion. The particles in a solid are tightly packed together and vibrate in fixed positions.


What model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?

I would describe it as this: All of the particles are tightly packed together with almost no spaces between them. Their motion is very limited, unlike that of a gas where the particles are spaced further apart and they are free to move around more.


Particles are arranged in no particular order in this type of solid?

amorphous

What is a solid aerosol?

A solid aerosol is a dispersion system where solid particles are suspended in a gas. These solid particles can range in size from nanometers to micrometers. Solid aerosols have various applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.


In which material would the particles most closely spaced?

a solid and a liquid


How would you describe the earths outer core?

hot solid


How does the particles in solid states move around?

In a solid state, particles vibrate in fixed positions about their equilibrium points. They do not move around freely like in liquids or gases due to strong intermolecular forces holding them in place. The particles can only oscillate or jiggle in a limited range around their fixed positions.


What is the behavior of gases at absolute zero?

At absolute zero, gases have minimal thermal energy and thus minimal motion of gas particles. This results in gases being in a state of maximum order, with particles coming to a complete stop. The gas would essentially behave as if it were in a solid state.


What word would describe the inner core of the earth?

Hot, solid
