Solid, one of the three basic states of matter, the others being liquid and gas. A solid forms from liquid or gas because the energy of atoms decreases when the atoms take up a relatively ordered, three-dimensional structure. All solids are able to resist forces applied either perpendicular or parallel to a surface.

Solid is a state of matter in which atoms are closely packed and are difficult to move past each other. Solids resist compression, expansion, or external forces that would alter its shape, with the degree of resistance being dependent upon the specific material under consideration. [1] Solids also always possess the least amount of kinetic energy per atom/molecule relative to other phases [2 ...
A solid is matter that has a defined shape and volume. Because its particles are packed close together, a solid is rigid, doesn’t flow, and isn’t easily compressed. A solid is defined as a state of matter with a definite shape and volume. In contrast, liquids can change shapes, while gases can change both shape and volume.
