All solids have a fixed shape unless acted upon by a force. If the temperature remains constant they have a fixed volume.
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Solids have a fixed shape and volume and cannot flow. Examples include metals, wood, and stone. These materials have tightly packed particles that maintain their position, giving them their fixed shape and volume.
It is atoms
Solids have a fixed shape and volume, while gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and instead expand to fill the space they are in. The particles in solids are tightly packed and vibrate in place, whereas particles in gases are more spread out and move freely in all directions.
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed form and occupy a specific amount of space. They also have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles close together and prevent them from easily flowing or changing position. Additionally, solids tend to be denser and have a higher degree of order in their particle arrangement compared to liquids and gases.
Mass and volume
they are natural, inorganic, and crystalline solids
brick is called the solid because it has all the properties of solids that are 1 it has fixed shape and fixed volume 2 it cannot be compressed as its particles are closely packed 3 it cannot flow 4 it has high density 5 the container is not needed to store them
All solids have their state in common. They can either be melted into a liquid or evaporated into a gas state.
The short answer is by their properties. If you mean solids, liquids and gases then you look at whether they have fixed shapes and fixed volumes or not. If you mean different substances, then you look at properties such as melting point, appearance and chemical reactions.

They are all convex, they are all polyhedra and they are all regular.
Do they hold their shape? Not exactly. Most if not all are free to flex, bend, vibrate as much as they please and yet would be undeniably solid. For some (metals), deformation is also possible under large stresses without fluid or gaseous properties being exhibited. Solids DO, however, resist change to their shape, and some will return elastically to their previous shape.
They are all solids. They have properties of metals and non metals.
