Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
How do you know the shape and volume of a solid?
well it depends what shape is the solid. it could be a sqare solid or circle solid
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 the volume and shape of solid?
It has a fixed shape and volume
What type of Matter that has definite shape but no definite volume?
The type of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape is a liquid. In a gas, there is no definite volume or shape, and in a solid there is a fixed shape and definite volume. A liquid is free to adopt of shape of its container, but its volume is fixed.
Why is an iron almirah a solid?

How does solid and liquid differ from each other?
solid- atoms more tightly packed specific shape and volume liquid- atoms slightly less tightly packed, no specific shape, specific volume
What is is a solids?
A solid shape is a 3-dimensional figure that is hard to draw on a flat surface. A regular shape is 2-dimensional. Sorry is this is wrong,but it is a solid shape
Does solid takes the shape and volume of its container?
Yes. That is one of the properties that distinguishes it from liquids or gasses, both of which do not. ■
Does rock have a definite shape?
Well, a specific rock takes up a specific amount of space, as well as a specific shape. Depending on the type of rock, you can change that definite shape by chipping or cracking it.
Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
What shape is not a solid shape?
A 2 dimensional shape such as a circle is NOT a solid shape, while a sphere is.
What is the defenite shape of a solid?
