1) Has a definite shape.
2) Is not easily compressible (in comparison to a gas).
3) Molecules are "locked" into a particular configuration, rather than sliding past one another.

What are the specific characteristics of solid?
The characteristics of a solid are incompressibility, rigidity and mechanical strength. The molecules, atoms or ions in solids are closely packed.
What characteristics do solutions have?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture that can be a liquid,solid, or gas depending on the solvent's state. It also has a solute that makes it up also. The various types of solutions are gas in gas, gas in liquid, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid, liquid in solid and solid in solid.
