Solids
Solids aren't moving, right? WRONG. Solids are actually built up with a bunch of vibrating atoms. They stay in place very neatly, very close together, but they still have energy and motion. The motion that solid particles have is pretty much just a vibration. A solid doesn't have much kinetic energy, which is energy in motion. In fact, out of all the four states of matter, (solids, liquids, gases, and plasma), it has the least amount of kinetic energy. But because the particles are so dense and organized, solids have a definite shape and volume.
When it comes to the transfer of energy, solids use conduction. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy, or heat, by touching. This only occurs in solids. The energy transfers warm to cold. With solids, heat transfers the fastest because the particles are more dense and close together. Some examples are your desk, chair, and a computer.
