Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -(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-2: -(a) In solids, the intermolecular spaces are negligible and the atoms move about in their own position which gives solids a definite shape and makes them rigid while in gases, the intermolecular spaces are large which allows the atoms to move around freely and hence, they are least rigid and have no definite shape.
