Question

Give scientific reasons - A solid matter has the properties of definite shape and volume.

Answer 1

As in a solid matter there are atoms packed tightly they do not move until they receive heat or come in contact of heat. Thus, the have some properties of definite shape and volume .

Answer 2

Answer:

Because molecules in solids are tightly packed together.

Explanation:

Every matter has atoms or molecules in it that have a certain arrangement which determines their state.

In solids, the molecules are tightly packed together and there is no or negligible space for the molecules to move or flow around.

Therefore, the molecules stay in their space and hence solids have a definite shape and volume.
