Final answer:

Solids have particles with no motion because the particles are in fixed positions with respect to each other due to the lack of thermal energy to overcome intermolecular interactions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the solid state, the particles of a substance are in fixed positions with respect to each other because there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume. So, in a solid state, the particles do not have any motion.

Answer:

solid

Step-by-step explanation:

In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much. The electrons of each atom are constantly in motion, so the atoms have a small vibration, but they are fixed in their position. Because of this, particles in a solid have very low kinetic energy.
