Picture a liquid as a dance floor full of people, moving around, but always in contact with each other. In a solid, they are all holding hands with their neighbors. They can wiggle back and forth, but their relative positions are fixed.

Did you mean "stationary"
Did you mean "particles"
No. They only get stationary at absolute zero.
They vibrate around a lot but their average position will not change within the solid.

All particles except those in a black hole are in constant motion. There are three classes of matter, solids, liquids and gasses.
