Temperature is the main factor that causes particles to vibrate in place. As the temperature increases, the particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more rapidly while staying in the same position. This vibration is a key characteristic of the solid state of matter.

In solid state particles are closest and only able to vibrate, not moving around

Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together, little free space between particles, not easily compressible.
