Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder.
Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.
it cannot change its volume because it has a definite shape and the electrons are tightly packed but it can change its volume when there is a slight change in temperature.

The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.
No, solids have a fixed volume that does not change easily. The particles in a solid are packed closely together, which gives them a fixed shape and volume. Changing the volume of a solid typically requires applying a significant amount of force or energy.
shape and volume
Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.
no because a solid has particles tightly packed it is hard to change a solid
A change in volume with a constant, unchanging Pressure and Temperature results in increased or decreased density, inversely dependent on increase or decrease in volume.
Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
