Answer:

the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume is a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solids are packed together therefore, unlike water and gas, the volume stays consistent. It does not need to be in a glass like water in order to keep it's shape so it has a definite shape.

Atoms and molecules are packed tightly together in solids, sometimes in a regular lattice. The particles in a solid still move but their movement is a small vibration. As a result, solids have a definite shape. Solids also have a defined volume and occupy a definite space.
