Question
what is true about atoms in a solid? they vibrate in a tightly packed order with very small empty spaces(no gas can fit) they vibrate with enough space for air and liquid to fit the are tightly packed without any empty spaces they dont move at all and are arranged in a particular order
In solids, atoms are closely packed in a regular pattern. They do not have enough space for gas, liquid to fit easily as in liquids or gases. Atoms in solids vibrate about their fixed positions (not stationary). There are very small empty spaces (not completely no empty spaces as absolute zero - which is unattainable - would be needed for that in theory, but in normal solids there are negligible compared to liquids/gases).
