Particles vibrate because they possess thermal energy, which causes them to constantly move and collide with each other. This movement results in vibrations as the particles interact with each other and their surroundings.
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.
Thermal energy causes particles to vibrate. When thermal energy is transferred to an object, its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move and vibrate.
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.

All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.

No, particles actually vibrate faster when they are heated. This increase in vibration is due to the higher energy levels associated with the increase in temperature.
Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
Heat is a form of energy, you are adding energy to the system, this causes the particles to vibrate faster.
