Good question... Solids particles hardly move they just hit up against each other which causes them to fibrate so fast that you dont feel it. Sorry I would of given you a more specific answer but I have already learned this so i dont remember the scientific explanation

Yes. They vibrate about a mean position.

What do solids do in a particle?

they can vibrate


In which container are the particles moving slowest?

Particles move slowest in a solid container. In solids, particles are closely packed together and primarily vibrate in place, resulting in minimal movement compared to liquids and gases. As temperature decreases, particle motion slows down even further, making solids the state of matter with the least particle movement.


How much space do solids take up?

That will vary from particle to particle.


What is the movement of the particles is it fast or slow?

The movement of particles can vary depending on their state of matter. In gases, particles move quickly and freely, while in liquids, they move more slowly but remain close together. In solids, particle movement is minimal, as they vibrate in fixed positions. Overall, the speed of particle movement is influenced by temperature and the phase of the substance.


Do liquids have a higher particle speed than solids?

Yes. Liquids are liquid because the particles are moving fast and bumping into each other so you get the sliding motion of liquid. Solids have the slowest particle movement of any form of matter. For the longest time it was believed that the particles in solids do not even move, however, scientists have found that the particles do move as they simply vibrate in place.


Why are solid rigid?

Why is diffusion greater in gasses than in solids?

Diffusion is greater in gases than in solids primarily due to the differences in particle arrangement and movement. In gases, particles are widely spaced and move freely at higher speeds, allowing them to spread out rapidly and mix with other gases. In contrast, solids have closely packed particles that vibrate in fixed positions, limiting their ability to move and disperse. This restricted movement in solids results in significantly slower diffusion rates compared to gases.
