Question

ASSERTION: solids are incompressible REASON: solid break when a force is aplied​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are both true

Explanation:

assertion:Solids, in contrast, are relatively dense, rigid, and incompressible because their intermolecular forces are so strong that the molecules are essentially locked in place. Liquids are relatively dense and incompressible, like solids, but they flow readily to adapt to the shape of their containers, like gases

reason:When sufficient force is applied, ionic crystals and covalent solids also break. But, metals can be made into thin sheets or foils by the application of the same amount.
