Which of the following terms describes a sample composed of particles condensed into a small space and having vibrational, but not translational, motion?

A. Solid
B. Liquid
C. Gas
D. Plasma

Answer 1

A solid is a sample composed of particles condensed into a small space and having vibrational, but not translational, motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample composed of particles condensed into a small space and having vibrational, but not translational, motion is a solid. In a solid, particles are packed closely together in a regular pattern and vibrate about fixed positions. They do not generally move in relation to one another.
