It means that they move to and fro. The "particles" refer to the atoms or molecules of the solid. It is a well-known fact that all matter - whether solid, liquid, gas, or most other states of matter - is made up of atoms.

What process is happening when solid?

Particles are vibrating rapidly.


A physical state composed of particles that vibrate in a fixed position is?

A solid. In a solid, particles are closely packed and have limited movement, vibrating in place without much freedom to roam.


What happens to the particles of a solid it becomes a liquid?

The molecules in the individual solid particles break free of their regular rigid framework by vibrating more energetically. Eventually the particles of the solid lose their shape and fuse together as a pool of liquid.


Why does sound need a medium to travel through solid liquids and gases?

Sound is a pattern of vibrating particles of matter; these particles are necessarily in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas. If there are no particles of matter (in other words, a vacuum) then there will be no pattern of vibrations, since there is nothing to vibrate. Electromagnetic waves (such as light) are different. They are still generated by vibrating particles (usually electrons) but they do not consist of vibrating particles, but of electromagnetic fields. That is why they, unlike sound, can travel even in a vacuum.


What motion do solid particals have?

Particles of a solid have the least amount of energy and are locked into place, although they are still vibrating with what little energy they have.


What is the difference between the particles in a solid and the particles in a gas?

In a solid, particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, vibrating in place. In a gas, particles are widely spaced apart and move freely in random directions at high speeds.


What does do you have a solid mean?

matter with a definite shape and volume and has tightly packed particles that move mainly by vibrating


A substance is made up of constantly vibrating particles arranged in a regular geometric pattern This substance is a?

Solid. Most likely a crystalline.


Which phase of matter has particles moving the slowest?

The solid phase of matter typically has particles moving the slowest compared to the liquid and gas phases. In a solid, particles are closely packed and have limited mobility, resulting in slower movement and vibrating in fixed positions.


The particles in what move back and forth in place?

The particles in solids move back and forth in place. This is due to the vibrating motion of the particles within a fixed position in a solid structure.
