___________( solids/ liquids) have fixed shape and volume.

Open in App

Solution

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.
Hence, solids have fixed shapes and volumes.
