Question

Assertion: Sugar can be purifled by the process of sublimation
Reason: Solids possess high compressibility,​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is False But Reason is True

Solids possess high compressibility,

Explanation:

Gases are highly compressible than solid.

Reason - As we know that solids have very less intermolecular spaces due to strong forces of attraction between the molecules while gases have large intermolecular spaces because of weaker forces of attraction so gases can be compressed easily.

Gases are more compressible than solids because gases have large intermolecular space and gas molecules are randomly located in the area, when pressure is applied the molecules get closer to each other decreasing intermolecular spaces and molecules getting organized. Hence gets compressed

There are large intermolecular space between gas thus making it highly compressible while in solid intermolecular space is very less thus making the solid molecules lose their compressibility. This is the reason why gases are highly compressible and solids are

The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids.

Some solids are compressible to some degree dependent upon density. Gases, which by definition are less dense than either solids or liquids are much more subject to compression, and compressed gases are common. ... Liquids are difficult to compress.
