Question

sponge is a solid still it can change its shape on being pressed. justify.

Answer 1

Sponge is a solid but still compressible as it contains small pores, so when we press it the air passes through it and it compressed but it has a definite shape, size and volume that's why it is considered as solid.....

Answer 2

The sponge is a solid still it can change its shape on being pressed because:

• The sponge has small pores in which air is trapped.
• It has a porous structure.
• The sponge is considered as solid as it has a definite shape and mass.
• When the sponge is pressed air inside the pores comes out and it compresses.

Hence, due to these reasons sponge is a solid still it can change its shape on being pressed.
