Yes. A solid can change shape. The process is called melting. Each solid has a melting point. Ice has a melting point of 0 degrees Celcius. You should learn this when you are in Grade 6 or 7. But let me tell you 1 thing, some solids like wood do not melt, wood burns when the temperature is too hot. The only type of solids that can melt are the type of solids that have the properties of changing into a liquid. You can search up videos in YouTube for more information about solids. You can type in "Ice melting", that would be a simple thing to start with.

add. And solids may have their shape altered by applying an external force. That is how a metal can is formed, or a railway iron, or a copper wire, or a metal spoon. Other solids such as wood and plastic may be similarly deformed.

How can you tell solids and liquids apart?

Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.


Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?

Solids do not change in size when taking the shape of their container because their particles are tightly packed and cannot easily move. Liquids, on the other hand, do not change in size but can take the shape of its container because their particles can move past each other.


Solids keep their shape unless?

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.
