Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A solid is the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -(a) Solids have definite shape and definite volume because the molecules in solid are closely packed and in fixed positions. The molecules can vibrate but do not move around which keeps the shape and volume definite.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the solid state, the individual particles of a substance are in fixed positions with respect to each other because there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume.
