Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The solid state of matter has the slowest moving particles. Solids have defined shapes, and the spaces between atoms are very less as atoms are closely packed.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a result, the particles in a liquid move faster in terms of vibration, rotation, and translation. Because they are moving faster, the particles in the liquid occupy more space, and the liquid is less dense than the corresponding solid.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a liquid, the particles are not only vibrating (their bonds are not present but they still vibrate), but they are also rotating and translating. The particles are moving much faster than in a solid.
