An object which is rigid resists bending and flexing.

An object which is solid is not hollow.

What will happen to a solid when cooled?

When a solid is cooled, its particles lose kinetic energy and move closer together, causing the solid to contract and become denser. This often results in the solid becoming more rigid and brittle.


WHY IS SOLID VERY COMPACT AND RIGID IN FORM?

Solids are very compact and rigid in form because their particles are tightly packed together and have strong forces of attraction between them. This arrangement of particles limits their ability to move freely, resulting in a fixed shape and volume for the solid.


Why are things solid?

Things are solid because their atoms and molecules are closely packed together, creating a rigid structure that resists changing shape. This tight arrangement allows for the forces between the particles to keep them in place, giving the object its solid form.


Which state of matter is characterized by having molecules close together and confined in their movement?

The state of matter characterized by having molecules close together and confined in their movement is a solid. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, giving the solid its rigid shape and volume.


What are the difference between the particle and rigid body?

Particles are point-based objects with no dimensions or orientation, used to simulate small particles in a system. Rigid bodies are solid objects with dimensions and orientation that interact with other objects in a physics simulation. Rigid bodies have mass, volume, and inertia, while particles are massless and do not have volume or shape.
