the thermal energy is what causes the particles to vibrate.

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.
The total energy of a material's particles causes particles to vibrate in place due to thermal energy.
The particles in a gas move faster and are full of energy. However the particles in a solid do not have as much energy and vibrate in place -Baarkullah Awan
No, particles actually vibrate faster when they are heated. This increase in vibration is due to the higher energy levels associated with the increase in temperature.
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
When water is boiled, the particles in the water gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in the liquid state. This causes them to break free and form water vapor, which is what we see as steam.
