The solid particles only posses_____________________?
Correct answer: B. Vibrational motion
- A. Translational motion
- B. Vibrational motion
- C. Rotational motion
- D. All of above motions
Explanation
Particles in a solid are held in fixed positions by strong forces and mainly vibrate about those positions. They do not normally undergo translational motion through the solid or free rotational motion. Students may choose d by applying the motions of gas particles to solids.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
