Question
When comparing solids, liquids and gasses, describe how solid particles move in terms of kinetic energy.
(1 point)
Solid molecules have a lot of kinetic energy and vibrate in place
Solid molecules have more kinetic energy and can spread out and slide past each other
Solid molecules have very little kinetic energy and vibrate in place
Solid molecules have a lot of kinetic energy, are not held together as tightly, and can spread out

The correct description of how solid particles move in terms of kinetic energy is:
**Solid molecules have very little kinetic energy and vibrate in place.**
In solids, the particles are closely packed together and have limited movement, primarily vibrating around fixed positions due to their lower kinetic energy compared to liquids and gases.
