Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
Which state of matter expands when hated and is easy to compress?
solid
Which state of matter expands when heated and is easy to compress?
solid
Is a solid hard to compress?
Yes they are, because the atoms are packed closely together
Why is a solid much more harder to compress than a gas?
The molecules in a solid are closely packed together in an orderly arrangement, leaving no spaces in between the molecules, therefore making compress difficult and almost impossible without use of machinery.
Which is the hardest to compress?

What can you do to a gas but not to a solid or liquid?
compress it
Sponge is a solid yet you ca compress it why?
You can only compress it to its existing volume (which you can't change without changing the density). The key is that a sponge isn't completely solid, it has pockets of air throughout it. Thus, you can compress those pockets of air and never change the volume of the actual solid.
Which state of matter expands when hated and is easy to compress?
solid
Which state of matter expands when heated and is easy to compress?
solid
Why can't you compress a solid?
Because a solid allready has a form that is why you cant compress it
Can you compress a gas because its particles are close together?
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
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 are solids not easy to compress as gases?
The molecules of solid are already intact that you cannot compress them any further unless there are spaces left.
Which one would compress more a solid rubber bicycle or a inflated mountain bike tire?
A "solid rubber bicycle" wouldn't be particularly useful, so I assume that you actually mean a comparison between a solid and an inflated bicycle tire. Answer: It depends. An inflated tire of a very high pressure will compress less than a solid tyre made out of soft rubber. OTOH a hard rubber solid tyre will compress less than a low-pressure inflatable tyre.
Is a solid hard to compress?
Yes they are, because the atoms are packed closely together
What will happen if you apply pressure to a solid?
It will compress, but only very slightly as compared to a gas.
