Yes. There is a huge amount of space between electrons and the nucleus of atoms, therefore all matter can be condensed under pressure. Dense metals like lead will not want to compress very easily, so it would take extremely high pressure to compress it.

Gases are the only state of matter that can be compressed.


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.


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 the only form of matter that is compressible?

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.


What was present before the Big Bang?

Nobody can say for sure, but there was MATTER present- what that matter was we can only hypothesise about, but it probably consisted of a variety of gases, elements, 'dark matter' and movement energy. The theory is that all of these things were compressed into such a tiny lump that they caused the massive explosion that created the Universe. As to what was there before the matter was present, no physicist or cosmologist can explain, but the answer can really only be that it was God.


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.


Why do hydraulic systems only work with liquids not gases?

Because the gas can not deliver power. Pressure of the gases are compressed. Liquids do not compress well and transmit power.


Is black hole antimatter?

No. It's still regular matter, only enormously compressed.


What matter state causes a force in one direction only?

If you mean compressed, then the answer is a gas.


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.
