How do atoms in a solid behave?

• They vibrate slowly in a fixed position.

• They slide past each other with moderate energy.

• They are stationary and do not move.

What is a characteristic of atoms in a liquid state?

• They are packed tightly in a regular pattern.

• They have more energy than in a solid and can slide past each other.

• They have the least energy and are in a fixed position.
