What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?

The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.

Difference between solid liquid and gases in fluidity?
What is the difference between solid and gas in terms of their fluidity
Differences between solids and gases?
The particles in a gas are much more spread out than in a solid.
Are the particles in a solid moving or still?
Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.
Do particles of solid have less energy than particles of a gas?
No,they don't because when the particles in gas ovecome the force of attraction they move more freely making the particles have more energy. Solid particles are tightly packed with a strong force of attraction making them have the least amount of energy compared to the other states(liquid and gas).
In which state of matter do the particles have the least amount of movement?
Gases have the weakest force of attraction between particles because they are in constant motion.
When comparing the molecular structure of a solid and gas the difference is the gas particles are closer together than the solid true or false?
The solid particles are closer.
Liquid held between particles of a solid?
Gas? (:
Difference between solid liquid and gases in fluidity?
What is the difference between solid and gas in terms of their fluidity
How is a solid different from a liquid or gas?
the distance between the particles and the average kinetic movement of the particles.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
What are the spaces between particles of Solid Liquid and Gas?
The spaces between particles in a solid are very close together, forming a closely packed arrangement. In a liquid, the particles are closer together than in a gas but still have some space between them. In a gas, the particles are much farther apart and have large spaces between them.
What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.

Why dont particles in a solid move as freely as particles in a gas?
since the interaction forces or vander waal forces between the particles of solid is more more than that of gas so they dont.....thx...with best regards..
Does gas have fast moving particles?
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
In a table are the particles a gas liquid or a solid?
solid
Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?
Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.
