Answer:
Solids
Explanation:
Some of the properties that limit the motion of particles in a solid:
1. The molecules of a solid are very closely packed together thereby limiting their motion compare to molecules of liquid which are free to move and gas with loosely bound molecules.
2. The molecules of a solid are held together by strong inter-molecular force due to very small inter-molecular spaces.
3. The motion of molecules in a solid vibrates only in their mean or fixed positions.
4. The particles are arranged in definite pattern and shape. A solid neither takes on the shape of its container like liquid, nor does it fill the entire volume available like a gas.
5. A solid is rigid and does not flow like liquid and gas.
6. A solid has a definite volume and can not be easily compressed.
