Question

which of the following statements is true regarding the particles in the most common states of matter (solid, liquid and gas)? the particles in a solid are in constant motion the particles in a gas undergo the slowest translational motion the particles in a liquid undergo vibrational motion around a fixed position the particles in a liquid and gas cant exchange positions with other particles

Explanation:

Particles in a solid are closely - packed and vibrate around fixed positions. In a liquid, particles can move past each other and exchange positions. In a gas, particles have high - speed translational motion. So, the statement about particles in a solid having constant motion (vibrational around fixed positions) is correct.

Answer:

The particles in a solid are in constant motion.
