Best Answer

There are forces between the atoms, such that they can't get too close together - or too far apart - from one another. As a result, they keep their relative position to one another (more or less), and the solid remains its shape.

A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?

Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.


What role does ribosome in protein synthesis?

Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis.
