Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
Solids do not change in size when taking the shape of their container because their particles are tightly packed and cannot easily move. Liquids, on the other hand, do not change in size but can take the shape of its container because their particles can move past each other.

A solid object has a definite shape and size, meaning it maintains a fixed form and volume. This distinguishes it from liquids and gases, which can change shape and size depending on their container or environment. Examples of solids include wood, metal, and stone.
Do solids take up the shape of a container?
No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.
What properties of solids distinguish them from liquids and gases?
Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and do not move past one another easily. In contrast, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while gases do not have a definite shape or volume as their particles are far apart and move freely.
