Interesting question but we have a few archives already posted that can help you out:

If a liquid has no definite shape and a solid does, then what is flour?
What form of matter is jelly or jam, a liquid or solid?
Is glass a liquid or a solid?

Actually you can find a few different answers to this question if you search our circumnavigator for terms like glass solid )

Anyway, I hope this information helps!

Kieran
