solid

Not liquid gas

Solid is primarily an adjective for denoting the property or quality of being firm and not hollow.

For physical things, it contrasts with other possible states, such as liquid or gaseous: Undissolved solids rested at the bottom of the jar.

For intangible things, solid is usually appreciative and denotes qualities of dependability and strength: a firm with a solid reputation.

Solid can also mean without interruption: It rained for a solid hour.
