The common volume units for solid substances are cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³). These units are used to quantify the amount of space occupied by a solid object.
Ice floats. Most other substances are denser in the solid state.
To determine the volume of a solid, you would need to know the appropriate formula based on the shape. Common formulas include volume = length × width × height for a rectangular solid, volume = πr^2h for a cylinder, and volume = (4/3)πr^3 for a sphere. The shape of the solid would determine which formula to use for calculating its volume.
Two examples of solid substances are ice (solid water) and salt.
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Yes. Almost all substances are less dense in their liquid form than their solids, as the solid structure is more closely packed. Water is the exception to this, hence ice floats.
The volume of most substances will reduce if the substance changes from liquid to solid.

Most substances expand as they are heated because the increase in temperature causes the individual particles to move faster and spread out, resulting in an overall increase in volume. This expansion is due to the increased kinetic energy of the particles.
No. Solids made of different substances will normally have different densities.
Laboratory tools used for measuring solid substances include balances (e.g. analytical balance, top loading balance), graduated cylinders, beakers, volumetric flasks, and pipettes. These tools help in accurately measuring the mass, volume, and density of solid substances in a laboratory setting.
The volume of a solid (whether regularly or irregularly shaped) can be determined by fluid displacement. Displacement of liquid can also be used to determine the volume of a gas. The combined volume of two substances is usually greater than the volume of just one of the substances. However, sometimes one substance dissolves in the other and in such cases the combined volume is not additive.
