The molecules of solids possess _ kinetic energy?
Correct answer: B. Vibrational
- A. Translational
- B. Vibrational
- C. Both Options A & B are correct
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Solids are rigid in nature as the particles of solids are held in fixed positions and cannot move freely. They can only vibrate about a mean position and thus transfer energy from one place to another. Thus, molecules of solids possess vibrational kinetic energy.Hence, B is the correct option.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
