Matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The solid state is distinguished by its ability to

A. Be easily compressed

B. Take the shape of its container

C. Have particles at low density

D. Maintain an ordered pattern

A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas. Solids molecules stay close to eachother maintaining its shape meaning it is in a ordered pattern.
