The states of matter have different characteristics and examples of each can be.
Characteristics Of A Solid Matter. Solid, one of the three basic states of matter, the others being liquid and gas. Unlike solids, liquids and gases do not hold their shape at room temperature.

This characteristic is the concept behind the solubility of a substance in other substances. Fixed shape, size and volume, strong intermolecular forces and short intermolecular distances, high density and the forces acting between constituent particles of matter within a solid are called intermolecular forces. The ions, atoms, or molecules of a solid are tightly packed and held together by strong intermolecular forces, forming a crystalline structure with low kinetic energy.
The key is that solids hold their shape and they don't flow like a liquid.
Only certain materials are attracted to magnets, like iron, nickel, and cobalt. Characteristics of particles of matter 1. Examples of the characteristics of matter: Only certain materials are attracted to magnets, like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
