lan wrote the following phrase to describe the movement of particles in a state of matter. "Spheres jiggle together in a locked position." Which state of matter did Alan most likely describe? Gas Liquid Solid Plasma

Most likely solid. Molecules move in a chaotic matter, which a Scottish botanist found out in the 19th century. In gases, this chaotic movement is the most "dramatic" and they move around freely; in liquids it's a bit less noticeable, and in solids the particles oscillate around locked positions. Movement in plasma is similar to gas.
