Question

Name the state of matter which has tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force

Answer 1

solid is the state of matter which has tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force I guess

Answer 2

Explanation:

Particles in a solid have strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are held closer to each other.

Therefore, when an external or outside force is applied to the solid then due to strong intermolecular force of attraction between the particles, they did not displace from their respective position. Hence, the shape of matter, that is solid, remains maintained.

For example, when we apply force on a large wooden block then it might get displaced from its mean position but its shape will remain the same.

Thus, we can conclude that solid is the state of matter which has tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force.
