Explain the properties of solid based on the particle nature of matter.
☞ A sölid has a stable, definite shape and a definite volume. These particles are packed closely together and are not frëe to move about within the substance.
➜ Particles are arranged and move differently in each state of matter.
➜ Solids contain particles that are tightly packed, with very little space between particles.
➜ If an object can hold its own shape and is difficult to compress, it is a solid.
