Hi friend,

-»Solids posses the characteristics that they cannot be compressed easily.

-»But the exception is a Sponge.

-»Though sponge is a solid we are able to compress it because sponge has minute pores all through the surface in which air is trapped.

-»When we press it the air is expelled out and we are able to compress it.

-»One more reason is that solids have high force of attraction, minimum intermolecular space and high kinetic energy.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))
