solidIn physics, a state of matter that holds its own shape (as opposed to a liquid, which takes up the shape of its container, or a gas, which totally fills its container). According to the kinetic theory of matter, the atoms or molecules in a solid are packed closely together in a regular arrangement, and are not free to move but merely vibrate about fixed positions, such as those in crystal lattices.
