No, solids are characterized by having tightly packed particles that do not easily compress under pressure. The strong intermolecular forces between particles make it difficult to change the volume of a solid by compression.

What is a description of a solid substance?

A substance that cannot be compressed of manipulated easily.


What is a substance which cannot be compressed and cannot flow?

A solid is a substance that cannot be compressed because its particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Solid substances also cannot flow, as their particles do not have the ability to move past each other easily.


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.


Which object can be most compressed and why?

Gas can be compressed easily because of space between them is big so then when compressed,the space between them get smaller. Liquid can be compressed but you can only compress it slightly since the particles are already touching Solid can't be compressed since their locked into place.


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.


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.


Can solid be compressed Give reason?

Solids cannot be compressed easily because their particles are arranged closely together in a fixed position. When external pressure is applied, the particles cannot move closer together, causing the solid to resist compression. However, under extreme pressure, solids can be compressed slightly due to the deformation of their atomic structure.


Why can gasses be compressed but liquids cannot be?

Liquids CAN be compressed ... but not as much as gasses, nor as easily. The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.


Can easily be compressed?

Yes


Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?

A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.


Which can be compressed more easily gas or liquid?

gas can be compressed easier.


A gas but not a liquid or a solid can be?

Compressed.
