Why does a solid have a specific shape?
A solid has definite shape because when particles in any element are cooled down to it's freezing point (becoming a solid), the particles begin to pack together in a particular pattern resulting in the solid's distinct shape.
A substance that has a fixed volume and a fixed shape?
It sounds like you are studying liquids, solids and gases.A liquid doesn't have a definite shape; it will shape like any container you pour it in.A gas doesn't have a definite volume; you can keep it at high pressure or low pressure and it will squeeze.A solid is the third type of physical state.
What is a shape of solid?
I think the answer is a fixed shape, but I don't really know because the question isn't detailed enough. Solids have a fixed shape unlike fluids (gases and liquids) because fluids take the shape of their container while solids keep their shape.
What are the 3 properties of liquids?
liquids freeze and boil.liquids:Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container they are inFlowCannot be compressed (keep the same volume)Liquids are used where we need something to flow e.g. for making a drink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a mould. A good example of this is making a jelly. The jelly (solid) has to be turned into a liquid (in this case by dissolving) so that it takes up the shape of the mould. It is then left to set (i.e. go solid again) so that it keeps its shape when removed from the mould.
Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?
A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.

Do liquids keep their shape?
Okay... Whoever wrote this was really stupid. One of the main characteristics of liquid is that it takes the shape of the bottom of it's container. So no, a liquid does not keep it's own shape. If it did, then it would be a solid.
