Question

What keeps the particles in the solid in this arrangement

Answer 1

Answer:

Solids behave as they do because of the way their particles are arranged. The particles of a solid are linked by strong forces, which pull the particles tightly together. So, although the particles can vibrate, they cannot move about easily. This arrangement explains why solids usually keep their shape and feel firm.

Answer 2

Explanation:

 In a solid, the attractive forces keep the particles together tightly enough so that the particles do not move past each other.
