No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.

Gases are the only state of matter than can?
Gases are only states of matter that can be compressed but tends to expand indefinitely.
Is gas and liquid's compersabile?
Only gases are compressible, for they have an indefinite shape and volume. Liquids, however, cannot be compressed, for they have an indefinite shape, but a definite volume.
What is the only concept in the universe that cannot be truly classified as a form of matter?
Anti- Matter
What are some of the general properties of gases that distinguish them from liquids and solids?
Some properties or characteristics that distinguish gases from solids and liquids are that they are compressible and also can expand to fill the volume in a container. Likewise, gas molecules are far apart and can occupy more space when compared to those of solids or liquids.
What form of matter would exsit if cohensive forces did not exist?
Cohesive forces, or intermolecular attractions, hold liquids and solids together. Without intermolecular attractions, only gases could exist. (And plasmas too, but that's not the point of this question.)
What is the only question which is a liquid?
A liquid is the type of matter which has the form of the container and is very low compressible.
Is light is an example of matter?
Light is a form a energy. It is not an 'example' of matter. Matter only consists of solids, liquids and gases, and plasma.
Are gases and liquids compressible?
Depends on what the gas is. Compressed air is used by Scuba divers to breathe, auto mechanics to drive lots of theirtools, carpenters for air powered nailers. Compressed oxygen is usedto help people with breathing problems in or out of the hospital,withacetylene in oxy-acetylene torches to cut thru metals. Maybe you mean CNG, compressed natural gas, which is mostly methane, and is used as a fuel.
any five characteristics of an gases?
5 properties of gases are: Gases have the lowest density of all the normal 3 states of matter. Gases have a random arrangement. Gases are the only normal state of matter to be compressed. Gases have the weakest atomic forces between particles. Gases, if stripped of their electrons, form plasmas.
Gases are the only state of matter than can?
Gases are only states of matter that can be compressed but tends to expand indefinitely.
Is gas and liquid's compersabile?
Only gases are compressible, for they have an indefinite shape and volume. Liquids, however, cannot be compressed, for they have an indefinite shape, but a definite volume.
What is the state of matter that expands the least when heated?
The least compressible state of matter is a solid. But even solids may be compressed slightly.A Neutron Star consists of matter so compressed that it is now composed only of neutrons.And of course, in a Black Hole, things are more compressed again.But both neutron Star and Black Hole are degenerate matter - they are no longer considered ordinary matter.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids or solids?
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
Which State of matter is easiest to push together?
Gases are the only state of matter that can be compressed.
What are the gases that form ozone layer?
There are no multiple gases. There is only one and that is ozone gas.
Is solid the only form of matter?
no it isnt the only form of matter because matter can also be a liquid or gas. ect.
Can you compression a liquid why or why not?
Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.
