Question

Give reason, solid cannot be pressed

Answer 1

Explanation:

because they have very negligible interparticular space .Due to which particles can not come any closer to one another

sponge is a solid which can be pressed . So, we can not say that all solids can not be pressed

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation: Solids are cannot be compressed easily because their intermolecular space is very less and the intermolecular force is maximum. So, solids have definite shape and fixed volume. And thus, the solids cannot be compressed easily.

Whereas, spong is a solid but it can be compressed because it has air spaces between them and the air is filled in those spaces. So some solids can be compressed like a sponge
