No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.

It is nearly impossible to solids and liquids?

Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.


Is it nearly impossible to compress liquids and solids?

yes


Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?

The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.


Explain why liquids are more diffcult to compress than gases?

Liquids are more diffcult to compress than gases because gas molecules are widely inter-spaced with weak forces of attraction, whereas liquid molecules are closely packed with trong forces of attraction and only move around in their fixed locations.


Why are liquids difficult to compress?

Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.


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.


Why can't we squash liquids?

Liquids can't be easily squashed because their molecules are already closely packed together, and they have little space to compress further. When pressure is applied, liquids transmit the force throughout, rather than compressing like gases. Additionally, the intermolecular forces in liquids maintain their volume, making it difficult to reduce their size significantly under pressure.


Does packaged water need ullage?

Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.


What is the substance that flows easily but is difficult to compress?

Water is a substance that flows easily but is difficult to compress due to its strong intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding.


What is impossible to do with solids and liquids?

Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.


Why the petrol cannot be compressed?

Petrol is a liquid and does not easily compress because its molecules are already close together. When pressure is applied, the molecules can't be pushed closer, so the volume remains relatively constant. Liquids like petrol have more resistance to compression compared to gases.
