Solids are incompressible but sponge can be compressed why

this is because the particles of the sponge are not so closely packed as compared to the particles of solid. Due to this reason we compress sponge
NickSingh1105:
Pls read my answer below
see what i told was the particles are not clisely packed which means that there are spaces in the sponge which is filled with air
so we compress the sponge
Here's the thing, if the particles are not packed close enough, the substance will not be in a solid shape, it will kind of melt
In the sponge case, it is a colloidal homogeneous mixture of gase and solidified liquid
I'm saying solidified liquid cause sponge are manufactured in liquid form
Which then dries up to become sponge
Don't believe me
Google it
And if you still think you are right, then for your convenience, the particles of matters are so small and so tightly packed in a solid, that if you try to put air pockets between them, you'll be only able to put a single atom of gas in it, that too barely

Solids are incompressible but in this case, the sponge contains many tiny holes and air pockets in it. As well all no that air is highly compressible, we can compress the sponge till all the air gets out. You'll reach a point where you can no longer compress it over squeeze it cause the air (which was compressible) had escaped and you are left with just the solid which, you know, is incompressible
