A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.
Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
The state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed is a solid. In solids, particles are closely packed together and have a fixed arrangement, giving them a definite shape and volume.
Yes, solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces that prevent them from moving freely, thus maintaining a fixed shape and volume.
Pebbles are solid.
A solid is a state of matter characterized by particles that are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement, giving it a definite shape and volume. A liquid is a state of matter where particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the substance to flow and take the shape of its container.

a solid
solid
A solid has a fixed volume and does not change shape.
A solid has a fixed shape and volume and cannot be compressed
A solid
Sponge is a solid as it has a fixed shape
Shape
Sort of, Solids have a fixed shape, while liquids have no fixed shape.
Yes, of course. A stem is a solid object. So, it has a fixed shape and fixed volume.
A solid has a definite shape and volume. (but the volume may change with temperature)A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape, and a gas has no definite volume or shape.
Yes, they have, but liquids don't.
