Solution

The correct option is B False
  • Solids: A solid is a state of matter which has a fixed shape, mass, and volume. It suffers very small changes in volume by changing the temperature. It can not be compressed, For example, Sand, Wood, Copper, Ice, etc.
  • The particles (ions, atoms, or molecules) are tightly packed together in the solid. The forces between the particles are intense in such a way that the particles can not move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, the solid has a stable, definite shape and a certain volume.
  • Thus, the given statement is False. I.e., The particles in solids move away from each other and travel in all directions.
