The picture that shows the state of matter with the characteristics you described is a solid.
- Solids have a definite, fixed volume because the particles that make up the solid are packed tightly together and are not able to move around much.
- Solids also have a fixed shape because the particles are held in place by strong intermolecular forces.
- However, even though the particles in a solid are relatively stationary, they are still constantly moving and sliding by one another. This movement is what gives solids their rigidity and allows them to maintain their shape.
Some other characteristics of solids include:
- Solids are generally denser than gases and liquids because the particles are packed closely together.
- Solids have a definite shape because the particles are held in place by intermolecular forces.
- Solids are generally more rigid than gases and liquids because the particles are not able to move around much.
- Solids are generally good conductors of heat and electricity because the particles are able to transfer energy easily.
