Items that are not solid-state components include mechanical parts such as motors, gears, and switches. Additionally, vacuum tubes and traditional incandescent light bulbs are also not classified as solid-state components. These items rely on physical movement or other non-solid state principles to function, contrasting with solid-state devices that utilize semiconductor materials.
Examples of solid state materials include diamond, quartz, silicon, and ice. These materials have tightly packed atoms or molecules with little to no mobility, leading to characteristic properties such as rigidity and defined shape.
A vacuum tube is not a solid-state component. Unlike solid-state devices that rely on semiconductor materials to control electric current, vacuum tubes use a vacuum to allow the flow of electrons between electrodes. This technology is largely outdated and has been replaced by solid-state devices in most applications due to their smaller size, efficiency, and reliability.
A vacuum tube is not a solid-state component. Unlike solid-state devices, which rely on semiconductor materials to control electrical current, vacuum tubes use a vacuum to enable the flow of electrons between electrodes. This technology is largely outdated but was widely used in early electronics, such as radios and amplifiers.
Steel is a solid in room temperature due to its strong metallic bonding, where atoms are tightly packed in a crystalline structure. This arrangement results in a stable solid state at room temperature. Additionally, the high melting point of iron, the main component of steel, contributes to its solid state.
A cream cake is a solid because it maintains a fixed shape and volume at room temperature. The cream, while soft, is not in a gaseous or liquid state as it is a semi-solid component of the cake.

Triac.
The solid state component that can be used as a switch to turn current on or off is a thyristor.

The process in which a gas changes directly into a solid is called deposition.

Iron, though it does have a small amount of nickel.

The main component of the Earth's inner core is iron, which makes up about 85% of its composition. Nickel is also present in smaller amounts. The high pressure and temperature in the inner core allow these metals to exist in a solid state despite their normally liquid state at the Earth's surface.
