Which option is not a characteristic of a solid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Filling the whole container

A solid normally has a definite shape and a definite volume because its particles are closely packed and held in fairly fixed positions. The particles can vibrate, but they do not move freely throughout the available space. Consequently, a solid keeps its own shape instead of spreading to match the shape of a container. Its fixed volume also means that it does not occupy every part of a larger empty container.

Option D is correct because filling the whole container is a characteristic of a gas, not a solid. Gas particles move freely and spread in all directions, so a gas expands to occupy the entire container. Fixed shape, fixed volume and closely placed particles are all consistent with the solid state.
