    Matter exists in three forms in nature:

    - Solid: in a solid, the particles of the substance are tightly bonded to each other, and they cannot move freely, but they can only vibrate around their fixed position. Solids have a definite volume and a definite shape.

    - Liquid: in a liquid, the particles of the substance can slide past each other, however there are still intermolecular forces acting between them and keeping them close to each other. Liquids have a definite volume, but not a definite shape.

    - Gas: in a gas, the particles of the substance can move freely, as there are no intermolecular forces acting between them. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape.

    In this problem therefore, the substances that are solids are:

    Rock: yes

    Rubber band: yes

    Milk: no (liquid)

    Feather: yes

    Cloth: yes

    Baby powder: yes

    Sugar: yes

    Foam-rubber ball: yes

    Styrofoam: yes

    Air: no (gas)

    Flour: yes

    Dust: yes

    Cooking oil: no (liquid)

    Sponge: yes

    Iron nail: yes

    Ice: yes

    Wood: yes

    Soil: yes

    Melting wax: no (liquid)

    Salt: yes

    Cotton ball: yes
