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.

How many combinations of the three states of matter are there?

There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The number of combinations possible from these states is 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. The six possible combinations are solid-liquid-gas, solid-gas-liquid, liquid-solid-gas, liquid-gas-solid, gas-solid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid.

Is froth a gas solid or liquid?

Foam at the top of a glass of beer is liquid combined with gas. Liquid foam with gas is also called froth. A foam sponge would be an example of a solid with air ( a gas ) pockets throughout. Similarly, volcanic rock which is lightweight, has plenty of gas bubbles throughout. Also there are more technologically advanced solid foams used in industry which are made of metals like aluminum, steel or even non metals like solid carbon. Therefore, foam can either a solid or a liquid.
