The particles of solids have low kinetic energy, so they do not move very much, only vibrating in place, therefore they have a definite shape and volume.
Basically, the atoms attract each other strongly enough to stay attached to each other.
A solid does have a definite shape and a definite volume.
Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!
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).
There is no such state of matter. Solid has a definite shape and volume, liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
liquid has no definite shape and a solid has no definite shape or volume
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
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 does have a definite shape and a definite volume.
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.
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.
Solid.
A solid has a definite shape and definite volume.
A solid has a definite shape and definite volume.
a solid
A solid has a definite shape and volume A liquid has the shape of the container and a definite volume A gas has the shape and volume of the container so the two characteristics for the substance to be solid are: a definite shape a definite volume
