Question

Which of the following correctly describes the arrangement of particles in a solid according to the kinetic theory?
Options
A Particles are far apart and move randomly at high speed
B Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed point
Correct Answer
C Particles move freely throughout the container
D Particles are not in motion
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In solids, particles are closely packed and held together by strong intermolecular forces. They vibrate and rotate about fixed positions but do not have translational motion, which gives solids their definite shape and volume.

Hint

Solid particles are confined to fixed positions.
