Best Answer

One of the properties of solids is that it cannot be compressed or expanded (like a gas), but there are some exceptions where solids do slightly change size, usually with a change of temperature or pressure. Rubber shrinks in cold weather, for example. The amount of change and under what conditions is dependent on the compound's unique chemical composition.
