No, solids have a fixed volume that does not change easily. The particles in a solid are packed closely together, which gives them a fixed shape and volume. Changing the volume of a solid typically requires applying a significant amount of force or energy.
Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.
Some common solids that melt at around 100 degrees Celsius include butter, cocoa butter, and some types of wax.
Liquids are malleable, meaning you can shape them, or they can change to fit the shape of the container they are being held in. Solids are basically classified as anything that can not(dramatically) change form or conform to another shape.
Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and do not move past one another easily. In contrast, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while gases do not have a definite shape or volume as their particles are far apart and move freely.
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.

it cannot change its volume because it has a definite shape and the electrons are tightly packed but it can change its volume when there is a slight change in temperature.

Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.

shape and volume
Gases have the property of indefinite shape and volume, as they expand to fill any container. They also have low density compared to liquids and solids. Gases can be compressed and expand easily when heated.
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.
