solid

Which of the following terms describes a sample composed of particles condensed into a small space and having vibrational, but not translational, motion?
MY ANSWER
Solids have little space between particles, and the particles vibrate within a fixed lattice structure.
Liquid particles move about in a fluid manner due to translational motion.
Gas particles are widely separated by empty space and move about randomly due to translational motion.
Atoms in a plasma state move so rapidly that their electrons separate from the rest of the atom; it is as fluid as a gas.
