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.
