Question

Why do solids have a fixed shape and a definite volume,?

Answer 1

Answer:

Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume.

Explanation:

The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate in fixed position, 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 2

✍️Answer:-

Solids have strong intermolecular forces of attraction. The constituent particles of solids cannot move from their position they can only vibrate from their mean position.

That is why solids have a definite volume.
