Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied.
** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **

∙ 14y agoAs opposed to liquids, whose particles are packed loosely, and gases, whose particles are barely hanging together, solids' particles are packed very tightly. Other solids whose particles are packed more loosely and liquids/gasses cannot break through the particles of the tighter-packed particles.
