What is a solid and can be compressed?
no
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.
Does the vloume of a gas change when its compressed?
Yes, when a gas is compressed it could form into a solid or liquid substance.
Can liquids and solid be compressed?
No, because solid and liquid have a definite shape. In practical terms the above it correct. However with great pressure many solids and liquids can be compressed into a more compact arrangement.
What is a description of a solid substance?
A substance that cannot be compressed of manipulated easily.
What is the scientific reason for gases can be compressed very easily but solid and liquids are imcompressible?
Because the intramolecular forces of solids and liquids already provide an amount of force compressing the atoms to a point that they are no longer as easily compressed.
A certain substance a cannot be compressed but takes up the shape of any container in which it is placedwhat can be its physical state?
It it takes the shape of the container, it can not be a solid. So, that narrows it down to being a liquid or a gas. A gas is easily compressed, so, the answer is most likely it is a liquid. Caveat: liquids can be compressed, but not 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.
What is a solid and can be compressed?
no
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
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 be compressed more easily gas or liquid?
gas can be compressed easier.
