If you could see atoms in which state of matter would you see them staying mostly in one place and moving with short back-and-forth motions?

You would likely see atoms in the solid state of matter staying mostly in one place and moving with short back-and-forth motions. This is because in solids, atoms are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions, giving the appearance of limited movement.


Scientific definition of a solid?

A solid is a state of matter characterized by having a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that hold the particles in place, giving them a rigid and stable structure.


Matter in which atoms are tightly held in place is a?

a solid


Is it True or false that atoms can move freely?

False. Atoms do not move freely in all states of matter. In solids, atoms are closely packed and vibrate in place, while in liquids, they can move past one another but are still somewhat restricted. In gases, atoms move more freely and independently, occupying the available space.


What is matter in witch atoms are tightly held in place?

Solid


What state of matter is a matter with a shape and volume that don't change?

The matter with a shape and volume that don't change is in a solid state. Solids have a fixed shape and volume because their particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.


Which state of matter has a definiate shape and volume?

The solid state of matter has a definite shape and volume. Particles in a solid are closely packed together and have strong forces holding them in place, giving the solid its fixed shape and volume.


Are atoms in liquid farther apart than atoms in gas?

No, in a liquid, atoms are closer together than in a gas. In a gas, atoms are much farther apart and move more freely, while in a liquid, atoms are closely packed but still have some ability to move around.


What are properties of solids?

Solid has definite volume and shape It's atoms and molecules are packed closely together that is all i got . :)


Does solids have atoms that hold it in place?

All matter is made of atoms. Liquids, solids and gases are all made of atoms. It is the bond between atoms that make a substance solid or liquid.


What is the state of matter in which the atoms or molecules remain in a fixed position?

No such state exists, as even in a solid the atoms or molecules are continuously jiggling back and forth just a little bit. If it were possible to cool something to absolute zero, classical physics says this jiggling would stop but quantum physics says that even this is impossible due to the uncertainty principle.


How does the spacing and speed of atoms determine a sibstance's state of matter?

In a solid, the spacing of the atoms is the closest, and the speed of the atoms is the slowest. In a liquid, the atoms are farther apart, but still slide past one another, and the speed of the atoms is greater than in the solid, but not fast enough to escape. In a gas, the atoms are far apart and do not affect one another very much, the speed of the atoms is the greatest and the atoms are able to escape the liquid state.
