Solution

The correct option is A True
Matter exists in three different states solid, liquid, and gas.
On heating the temperature of matter increase due to which particles gain kinetic motion.
Heating solids:
The strong interactions between particles in a solid material keep them close together.
Even if they vibrate, it is not enough to create structural damage.
When a solid substance is heated, its particles absorb energy and start vibrating faster and more vigorously.
Hence when a solid is heated, its particles vibrate more vigorously is a correct option.

Q. A solid consists of low kinetic energy, vibrating particles locked into position by interparticle attractive forces. When heat is applied, energy is absorbed and the particles start vibrating more vigorously.

Q. How does the particle of a solid vibrate on passing sound through it because solid particles are tightly packed?

Assertion: On heating a solid, its particles start vibrating vigorously.

Reason: At the melting point, the particles of the solid acquire sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between them and move away from their positions, thus, the solid changes into a liquid.
