i)Sugar and Salt are solids, yet they take the shape of the jar.
ii)Sponge is a solid, yet it is compressible.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:1.sugar and are even solids but particals of salt and sugar very small so they take jar shape

2.most of space in sponge is filled with air so it is compressible.

Answer 2

Answer:

sponge is a porous solid. sponge has minute holes in which air is trapped when we press it the air is expelled out and we are able to compress it. A sponge has minute holes,in which air is trapped, when we press it,the air is expelled out and we are able to compress it.sponge is a porous solid.but in other words the property of compressibility means an object is commpresed and it remains in that compressed shape until we apply force to get it back to its normal position and when we compress sponge it comes back to its original shape automatically in a minute or two.
