* Vibrational Energy: In solids, the particles (atoms or molecules) are tightly packed and held together by strong intermolecular forces. They can't move freely like in liquids or gases. Instead, they primarily vibrate about their fixed positions. This vibrational motion is a form of kinetic energy.
* Temperature and Kinetic Energy: The average kinetic energy of the particles in a solid is directly related to its temperature. As temperature increases, the particles vibrate with greater amplitude.
* No Translational or Rotational Energy: Unlike liquids and gases, solids do not exhibit significant translational (movement from place to place) or rotational kinetic energy.
Sammanfattningsvis:
* Solids possess kinetic energy in the form of vibrational energy .
* The average kinetic energy of the particles in a solid is directly proportional to its temperature .
