I WONDER - What Is A Solid?

Solids are characterized by their fixed shape and size due to the immobility of their molecules. They maintain their form unless subjected to external force, which can alter their shape. The molecular structure of solids involves linked molecules, contributing to their rigidity.

What is the reason that solids have a definite shape?

How does force affect the shape of a solid object?

Can you provide an example of a solid object and explain why it maintains its shape?

What happens to the shape of a solid if it is broken?

Describe the relationship between molecules in a solid.
