A solid will stay compact. The molecules in the solid will be so tight that the solid will keep it's shape. Think of putting a brick in a cup, the brick will stay the same shape as opposed to putting water in a cup, which will take the shape of the cup.
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
Yes, for example, if you have 10 dice and you put it in a container, then it will fill up the container. If you have box, you can put individual solids in and it will fill the box.

Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.

No they don't because they have tightly packed particles. But liquids can take the shape of their container.
They move Freely in the closed container.
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this? Is jelly a solid that behaves as a liquid?? and is it because they arent very strong.
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.
Their volume increases - that is to say, the solids expand. However, their mass stays the same.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Liquids can flow and take the shape of the container they are in, unlike solids which have a fixed shape.
