Why are the particles in a solid assumed to be moving even though we cannot see them? O The kinetic molecular theory says that all particles are in constant, random motion. O The kinetic molecular theory says that particles are always colliding with each other inelastically. The kinetic molecular theory says that there is a lot of space between the particles in a solid. The particles in a solid are attracted to each other, so they end up sticking together.
