of definite shape and volume; firm; neither liquid nor gaseous; "ice is water in the solid state"
A solid is a state of matter, characterized by a definite volume and a definite shape (i.e. it resists deformation). Within a solid, atoms/molecules are relatively close together, or "rigid"; however, this does not prevent the solid from becoming deformed or compressed. In the solid phase of matter, atoms have a fixed spatial ordering; because all matter has some kinetic energy, the atoms in even the most rigid solid move slightly, but this movement is "invisible".

eady way to find out stick you finger on it or in it and if some stays onto your finger it's probably a liquid. if it dosn't and it's reasonably hard it's probably a solid. why?
