A solid can hold its shape because the molecules hold together and vibrate in place.
Solids are made of atoms. In fact, so are most things.
Gases, Liquids and solids are sometimes contrasted by the fact that liquids and gasses will take on the shape of the container that they are placed in while solids do not.
Yes, in fact stirring does increase the rate of dissolving [or dissolution] of solids.
No, water does not boil faster with dissolved solids. In fact, the presence of dissolved solids increases the boiling point of water, a phenomenon known as boiling point elevation. This means that water with dissolved solids will require a higher temperature to reach its boiling point compared to pure water. Therefore, the boiling process may take longer when solids are present.
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Yes. In fact, solid is a state of matter. correct and the other states are liquid and gas
Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.
He had to persuade the rest of the scientific world that solids were in fact mostly empty space.
As A Matter Of Fact, They DO Melt. The Liquid Just Has To Be About A Degree Or Two Warmer To Melt It.

False. The ability of copper wire to be bent does not necessarily indicate that some solids do not have a definite shape. Solids, including copper, have a definite shape but can still be flexible or malleable under certain conditions.
