Answer 2

Solids do not change their shape when they are pressed.

Solids

• Solids are tightly packed substances that have no intermolecular space between their molecules.
• The molecules in a solid have a high molecular attraction towards each other. They define a definite shape and structure of the solids.
• The shape of solids does not change on the application of pressure to them.

Exceptions

• Some solids like children's clay and mud can be given different shapes by applying pressure on them.

• By changing the environmental conditions, it is possible to change the shape of a solid. For example, an iron rod can be bent if it is heated.
