A solid is made of particles that are close together and held rigidly to one another. As a result, they do not move around. We preceive this as keeping their shape or definite shape. Since the particles are as close as they can be and yet held strongly so that they may not move apart we perceive this as keeping the same volume or definite volume.
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
a solid
A: Solid - A solid has definite shape and volume. - A liquid has definite volume, but not definite shape. - A gas has neither definite volume nor definite shape.
liquid does have definite volume, but it does not have a definite shape.Only ice (solid) phase has a definite volume and shapeIce( solid state), since solids are the only state of matter that has a definite mass volume and shape
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
A solid is another state of liquid. Usually, water is frozen into a solid (ice).
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
Matter that has a definite volume and a definite mass is... a SOLID. So any solid will be a correct answer to your question.
Solid.
A solid has a definite shape and definite volume.
