How will you show that gases can be compressed while liquids and solids cannot be compressed?
baybi
Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
Why can you squash gases?
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .
Where do you use the fact that gases can be compressed and liquids cannot?
a liquid can be compressed
Which characteristics define a liquid?
-Can fit in any space with equal or greater volume regardless of shape -Cannot be compressed -Molecules are loosely connected as opposed to solids and gases
Which state of matter cannot be compressed?
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
Why Solids cannot be compressed easily whereas gases can easily compressed?
The molecules of a solid are as close together as they can get using electromagnetic force (that all you've got - including machines) ... whereas gas molecules are relatively far apart.
Why can gases be compressed more than liquids and liquids more than solids?
Gases have the space between their molecules, and so can be compressed the most. Next is liquid which has more space between the molecules than a solid, but not as much space as in a gas. So, it an be compressed also, but not as much as can a gas. And finally, a solid does not have much space between molecules and thus cannot be compressed too much.
How do you determine a substance which is a solid?
Solids have a strict shape and volume. Solids do not flow and they are usually cannot be easily compressed.
What are the properties of the solids liquids gases?
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
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
