  • Solid State of Matter: Atomic Vibration and Fixed Position Explained
    The state of matter where atoms vibrate but remain in a fixed position is solid.

    Here's why:

    * Solids have a definite shape and volume. The atoms are tightly packed together in a regular, repeating arrangement called a crystal lattice. While they vibrate, they are held in place by strong intermolecular forces.

    * Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Their atoms are closer together than in gases but have more freedom to move around.

    * Gases have no definite shape or volume. Their atoms are far apart and move freely in all directions.
