Yes, a solid will retain its shape even if left alone because the particles are tightly packed and have minimal movement. This allows solids to maintain their fixed shape and volume.

Why does a solid have a specific shape?

A solid has definite shape because when particles in any element are cooled down to it's freezing point (becoming a solid), the particles begin to pack together in a particular pattern resulting in the solid's distinct shape.


What is a shape of solid?

I think the answer is a fixed shape, but I don't really know because the question isn't detailed enough. Solids have a fixed shape unlike fluids (gases and liquids) because fluids take the shape of their container while solids keep their shape.


Why does a solid hold its shape without a container?

A solid holds its shape due to the strong intermolecular forces between its particles. These forces keep the particles close together in a fixed arrangement, preventing them from moving around freely and causing the solid to maintain its shape.


Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?

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.


Why solid that are tightly linked together in a definite shape OF Particles?

There are forces between the atoms, such that they can't get too close together - or too far apart - from one another. As a result, they keep their relative position to one another (more or less), and the solid remains its shape.

Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?

liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
