The common properties of solids is that they have definite shape and a definite volume. They do not take the shape of the containers like the liquids.

Solids have a definite shape and volume, meaning they maintain a fixed form and occupy a specific amount of space. They also have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles close together and prevent them from easily flowing or changing position. Additionally, solids tend to be denser and have a higher degree of order in their particle arrangement compared to liquids and gases.
All solids do no have same properties. They possess different properties.
They are all solids. They have properties of metals and non metals.
No, not all solids dissolve. Solubility depends on the specific properties of the solid and the solvent it is being dissolved in. Some solids, like salt and sugar, readily dissolve in water, while others, like sand and silver, do not dissolve easily.
Crystalline solids have a well-defined and ordered arrangement of atoms or molecules, leading to a regular geometric structure and characteristic properties. On the other hand, amorphous solids lack this long-range order and have a random arrangement of particles, resulting in isotropic properties and lack of distinct melting points.
Fluidity and compressibility are properties present in liquids and gases but not in solids. Liquids and gases can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed shape. Gases can be compressed under pressure, unlike solids which have a fixed volume.
