Unless you change it (e.g.: smash it)

But it will keep the shape it is smashed in. Solids stay in their shape unless something else changes it for them.

Or if it becomes a liquid by melting or a solid through sublimation.

No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.


What do solids keep?

Solids keep their shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed structure and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are closely packed together, giving them a fixed shape that can only be changed by applying external force.


What keeps particles together in a solid and liquid?

Solids do not flow. The particles in a solid cannot change places so a solid will keep its shape (unless it is broken).


Have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of there container?

Solids have a definite shape and do not easily take the shape of their container due to the strong intermolecular forces between their particles, which keep them locked in place. This characteristic distinguishes solids from liquids and gases, which can flow and take the shape of their container.

What are the characteristics of solids?

Solids have definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids or gases. The particles in solids are tightly packed together and have strong intermolecular forces, giving them a fixed structure. Solids are not easily compressed due to the limited space between particles.
