The shape and size of any matter depends upon the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction in between the particles of the matter. The intermolecular forces of attraction in solids are very strong as compared to liquids and gases. They help solid to maintain a definite shape and size. Also, particles in solids are densely packed. So, the solid state of matter has a definite shape and size.
