Best Answer

Solids cannot be compressed easily because their particles are arranged closely together in a fixed position. When external pressure is applied, the particles cannot move closer together, causing the solid to resist compression. However, under extreme pressure, solids can be compressed slightly due to the deformation of their atomic structure.

Is sponge a solid liquid or gas?

solid and gas . Solid because it has a fixed shape and gas because it can be compressed * * * * * It is a solid. The fact that it can be compressed does not make it a gas. The compression is simply because a sponge contains a large number of spaces that are filled with gas but the gas there (air) is not part of the sponge.


Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?

A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.


Why can gasses be compressed but liquids cannot be?

Liquids CAN be compressed ... but not as much as gasses, nor as easily. The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.

No. Because the solids have no space to travel into.


What is a solid and can be compressed?

Ice is a solid that can be compressed under high pressure. Despite its rigidity and density, ice can undergo compression due to the rearrangement of its crystalline structure when subjected to significant force.


What can't be conpressed?

solids cannot be compressed at all, if you compress a liquid enough it will become a solid by freezing, gasses can be compressed however if compressed enough it will become a liquid
