Kinetic energy : It is the energy possessed by the particles due to their motion. The particles of a gas have maximum kinetic energy due to free motion of gas particles in all directions. Solids have minimum kinetic energy due to least movement of particles.
Any matter that is a solid has adefinite shapeand a definite volume. The molecules in a solidare in fixedpositions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.

Answer:In solid,molecules have very small kinetic energies,that cannot overcome the strong intermolecular force.The particles in solids are very closely packed together without any intermolecular space between the molecules.So ,solids have definite volume and definite shape
