What state of matter have particles are held tightly in place by other particles?

The state of matter where particles are held tightly in place by other particles is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, which gives them a definite shape and volume. The strong intermolecular forces keep the particles from moving freely, allowing only vibrational motion. This structure contrasts with liquids and gases, where particles have more freedom to move.
