Yes. But this type of solid does not hold its shape for an indefinite period. Glass is an example that is so often given for an amorphous solid. If it is used in an application like a large, thick picture window and left for many decades, it can be found to be thicker at the bottom edge and thinner at the top edge than it was when it was initially installed.

What else can I help you with?
Does a solid have a definite or not definite shape?
A solid has a definite shape because its particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement. This fixed structure gives solids a specific shape that remains constant unless acted upon by an external force.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
What has a definite shape and voulme?
A solid has a definite shape and volume. In a solid, particles are closely packed and have strong forces of attraction between them, causing the solid to maintain its shape and volume.
What kind of shape volume and particles solid have?
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles
What phases of matter have a definite shape?
Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!
What is is a solids?
A solid shape is a 3-dimensional figure that is hard to draw on a flat surface. A regular shape is 2-dimensional. Sorry is this is wrong,but it is a solid shape
What are two important characteristics of a solid?

Why opal water and mercury are not true minerals?
Minerals by definition are solid, naturally occurring inorganic materials with a definite shape and crystalline structure. Opal water and mercury are both liquids lacking a definite shape and crystalline structre.
Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Which has a definite volume and indefinite shape gas or liquid?
Super-cooled liquidsA gas takes the shape of its container and fills it, as well. A liquid takes the shape of its container but doesn't fill it necessarily. A solid has a definite volume and shape and usually, but not always, exhibits a crystalline structure. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are sometimes called "super-cooled liquids" because liquids have no crystalline structure. Glass is a good example of a solid that has no crystalline structure.

Why solid has definite shape?
Because definite shapes are solid.
Matter that has a definite shape?
