(N/A) wooden table is classified as a solid because it possesses a fixed shape and a definite volume. In solids,the constituent particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction,which keeps them in fixed positions. Additionally,the intermolecular space between these particles is negligible. Due to these properties,a wooden table maintains its structure and does not flow,which are the defining characteristics of a solid state.
