Check all that apply.

AThe particles are not in a fixed location.
BThe particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.
CThey have weak intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules.
DThe particles vibrate.

Verified Answer :

B and D
cannot be A and D as the particles are in a fixed position due to strong intermolecular forces

The statements true for solids are the particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases and the particles vibrate. The correct options are B and D.

What are solid?

Solid is one of the form of matter. Solid occupies space and have volume.

In solids, there are strong intermolecular attraction such that the , molecules can't move from their place.  When the temperature is increased, they can only vibrate on their places. So, they have less kinetic energy than the liquids and gases.

Thus, the correct options are B and D.
