All solids have definite shape, volume and distinct boundaries.
A Rubber band too has a definite shape, volume and distinct boundaries. Only when some external force is applied, will it change its shape. After the force is withdrawn, due to its intermolecular force of attraction, it resumes its original shape and size.
