Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The atoms in a solid are so attracted to each other that they vibrate and don’t move past each other. The molecules of a liquid are attracted to each other, but move more freely and past one another.
