Yes. Gases are very compressible because there is a lot of empty space between the molecules. A liquid has almost no empty space between the molecules. When compressing a gas you are pushing the molecules closer together, getting rid of some of the empty space. Can't do that with liquids.
Example 18grams of liquid ware will occupy 18 ml or 0.018 Liter of space (volume). Boil that same 18 grams of water and it will occupy about 24000 ml or 24 Liters of space because in the gas form the same number of molecules are farther apart with lots of empty space between them .

Why does the density of an incompressible fluid remains constant?
In incompressible fluid density is same because velocity gradient is same on every layer of liquid at any cross section.
Water is incompressible fluid when what we do for bring it is compressible?
It can't be made compressible, if that's what you mean - unless you turn it into steam.There really is no such thing as an incompressible fluid; but the amount a liquid's volume changes under pressure is so little, that for many practical purposes it can be considered incompressible.
Define the LIQUID phase of matter?
The liquid phase is a state of matter that:Cannot resist a shear force (it flows - unlike a solid)andIs incompressible (unlike a gas)
Is the depth of the water table always the same?
Yes. Water is incompressible, for most practical purposes.Yes. Water is incompressible, for most practical purposes.Yes. Water is incompressible, for most practical purposes.Yes. Water is incompressible, for most practical purposes.
How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?
A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.
How does pressure exerted by a liquid increase with depth?
It increases linearly, assuming the liquid is incompressible.
What cannot be compressed in fourteen letters?
Something that is "incompressible"
Which state of matter would be incompressible solid or liquid or gas?
Solid
Why does the density of an incompressible fluid remains constant?
In incompressible fluid density is same because velocity gradient is same on every layer of liquid at any cross section.
What does liquid have a definite shape or a definite volume?
Liquid has a definite volume, NOT a definite shape.
What are the characterstics of liquid?
It has a fixed mass, volume and density at a fixed temperature. It does not have a fixed shape. It is incompressible.

Is it possible to compress liquid?
The compressibility of liquids is low enough that considering them to be incompressible is usually a safe assumption.
What are the differences between a gas and a liquid?
A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.
Why hydraulic oil incompressible?
it is the property of the liquids. all the liquids are incompressible. this is because the change in volume due to pressure is negligible for liquids. in liquids the molecules are almost compact and hence no space for compression.
Define the LIQUID phase of matter?
The liquid phase is a state of matter that:Cannot resist a shear force (it flows - unlike a solid)andIs incompressible (unlike a gas)
Is it rue that The volume of a liquid and a gas always stay the same?
Liquid: yes, more or less. Liquids are practically incompressible (with the pressures we usually have on Earth).Gases: no. Gases can easily be compressed.
