Solid is a state of matter that holds its shape and cannot be squashed into a smaller space.

Solids can be described with texture.

Solids are a **state of matter** that:

Cannot be poured. Hold their shape if you leave them alone. Do not flow.


Solids cannot be squashed into a smaller size. You can change their shape by squashing, but their size stays the same.

Examples of solid materials:

A state of matter where all the particles are touching and in a regular arrangement.

Solids are a **state of matter** that:

A solid cannot be poured because the particles are in fixed positions. Solids hold their shape if you leave them alone because the particles are in fixed positions. Solids do not flow because the particles are in fixed positions.


Solids cannot be squashed into a smaller size because the particles are already touching so they can't get any closer together.
