Atoms undergo thermal vibrational motion while held in a lattice by covalent ionic metallic or other forces which hold them together but at the same time the thermal energy present at room temperature they vibrate on their lattice site itself

If the object is completely solid the particles don't move


What phase does dust particles exist in?

Dust particles typically exist in the solid phase, as they are made up of solid particles that can be suspended in the air.


Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?

No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.


What are things that are true about particles in a solid?

Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.


What are solid particles in gas called?

Solid particles in gas are called aerosols. These are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas, such as dust, smoke, or mist.


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 does a solid have?

A solid has tightly packed particles.


Are solid particles packed close toghether?

I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.


Are the particles in a liquid are usually closer together than the particles in a solids?

No, the particles in a solid are usually closer together than the particles in a liquid. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and have a fixed position, while in a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed and can move around.


How does solid differ from a gas?

Gases particles move through and faster than the particles in a solid
