Asolid keeps its shape due to which of the following factors? a. space between particles b. attractive forces between particles c. the type of element in the solid d. the container it is placed in

Attractive forces between particles

Explanation:

There are three states of matter i.e solids, liquids and gases. All three states have different properties. A solid keeps its shape due to attractive forces between particles. These forces are called inter molecular forces. The particles of solid keeps with this force. There are few types of inter molecular forces

Hence, the correct option is (b) "Attractive forces between particles".
