Question

What are the properties of a solid?

• A. A state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape.
• B. A state of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape.
• C. A state of matter that has both a fixed volume and shape.
• D. A state of matter that conducts electricity well.
• E. A state of matter similar to gas that has free electrons.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A state of matter that has both a fixed volume and shape.

The solid particles are very strongly bound with each other, thus the solid state of matter has both definite shape as well as definite volume.

Thus option C is correct.
