Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Solid is a physical state of matter which has a definite shape, size, and volume. Its particles have fixed positions and are arranged in a set pattern throughout the solid. Their shape and size cannot be changed as the molecules in solids are very tightly packed. Therefore, they have fewer intermolecular spaces between their particles. For example, metals, wood, glass, etc., are solid.
The correct statement would be, that solids have a definite shape and volume.
