Particles in each state of matter behave differently because they have different amounts of thermal energy.

Question

In a solid, the particles are held together tightly, and they do not move around freely. Because the particles stay in about the same place, a solid generally keeps a certain shape.
Even though particles in a solid cannot move past one another, they are not completely still. The particles are constantly vibrating, or moving back and forth, in place.
