A solid is a state of matter, characterized by a definite volume and a definite shape (i.e. it resists deformation). Within a solid, atoms/molecules are relatively close together, or "rigid"; however, this does not prevent the solid from becoming deformed or compressed. In the solid phases of matter of matter, atoms have a fixed space ordering; because all matter has some kinetic energy, the atoms in even the most rigid solid movement slightly, but this movement is "invisible". Physicists call the study of solids solid state physics. This includes semiconductors and superconductivity. Solid state physics is a type of condensed matter physics. Materials science is primarily concerned with properties of solids such as strength and Phase (matter) transformations. It overlaps strongly with solid state physics. Solid state chemistry overlaps both of these fields, but is especially concerned with the synthesis of novel materials. ==See also== *Phase (matter) *gas *liquid *plasma ---- In geometry, a solid is a three-dimensional figure.

Techincally speaking, the opening sentence of this article is untrue. Look at the grammar. Any suggestions on correcting it? I can't come up with anything prettier than dropping the A and italicizing solid. --User:Dante Alighieri 10:02 27 May 2003 (UTC) --- I think it's fine this way, since the meaning is very clear. 'Solid' is often (incorrectly?) used as a noun. A sentence like 'Sodiumchloride is a solid at room temperature' is perfectly legible, although it should read 'Sodiumchloride is solid at room temperature'. (Ben, 14 Aug 2004) :"A solid is a state of matter" doesn't sound right to me, either, although there is no problem with using ''solid'' as a noun - the OED says that the noun ''solid'' comes from the adjective ''solid''. How about "A solid is a body of matter with a definite volume..."? -- User:Heron 15:03, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
