Question
what does it mean for a solid to have a definite shape?
a it retains its shape under normal conditions.
b it can change shape easily.
c it takes the shape of its container.
d it has no fixed volume.
Solids have definite shapes because their particles are closely packed and held in fixed positions. This allows them to retain their shape under normal conditions. Liquids take the shape of their container and gases have no definite shape or volume. A solid that can change shape easily is not a typical solid with a definite shape.
