Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bond which is formed between hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of other molecule. H2O-----H-O-H
Within the molecule it is the covalent bonds which hold the atoms together. The facts that the molecule is polar or that the substance is in the solid state are irrelevant. If you were trying to ask what holds the molecules together to make the solid, then it is dipole-dipole forces and van der Waals forces.

matter
Menthol is a solid at room temperature due to its molecular structure which includes hydrogen bonding between its molecules. These interactions create a lattice-like structure that holds the molecules together in a solid state. Additionally, the presence of functional groups like hydroxyl and methyl groups contribute to its solid form at ambient conditions.
Yes, a gas is the same as a solid except the molecules are moving farther apart. In a solid they are bunched together.
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.

molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice

solid
A group of molecules squeezed together is called a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have fixed positions relative to each other.
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
A diagram showing molecules closely packed together in a regular and organized pattern represents molecules in the solid phase. The molecules in a solid are held together by strong bonds and have very little movement.
