No. Imagine a sponge. A sponge is a solid, but since the atoms aren't that close together, they sponge is still malleable. Another example would be when you put a nail into a piece of wood, the nail remains there because you just compressed the wood inside around the nail which keeps a firm grip on the nail.

Why are gases so easily compressible where as it is a almost impossible to compress a solid or liquid?
There is plenty of space between the molecules of a gas but relatively little between those of a solid or liquid.
Is carbon monoxide compressible?
All gasses are compressible
What are the 7 phases of matter?
The seven phases of matter are amorphous solid, crystalline solid, vapor, liquid, compressible liquid, gas, and supercritical fluid. Each phase is formed as a particular temperature and pressure.
Is steel compressible?
anything is compressible. it depends on how hard you compress it.
What is the state of matter that expands the least when heated?
The least compressible state of matter is a solid. But even solids may be compressed slightly.A Neutron Star consists of matter so compressed that it is now composed only of neutrons.And of course, in a Black Hole, things are more compressed again.But both neutron Star and Black Hole are degenerate matter - they are no longer considered ordinary matter.
In order for a material to be compressible there must be space between the particles which states of matter will be in compressible?
Solid and liquid states are not compressible.Solids.Solids
Sponge is compressible still its solidwhy?
Sponge is solid yet it is compressible the presence of the inter particle spaces or voids which are filled with air and make it compressible.
Why sponge is solid but still compressible?
Because a great part of a sponge is air.
What is compressible is it a gas a liquid or a solid?
It depends on the element or compound that you are working with. Try wikipedia.
Soil is an example of what matter?
Solid is an example of SOLID matter. Since it can easily compressible but if we take the molecules of soil, then we can conclude that soil is type of SOLID matter.
Why solids is not compressible why?
solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible
Is oxygen compressible?
All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed. For example, compressed oxygen is used in emergency vehicles to keep people alive if they are injured or sick. It is extremely flammable, almost explosive so no smoking near a compressed oxygen gas cylinder, OK?
Why a sponge a solid though compressible?
as t does not expand or take the shape of container it has its fixed shape
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
How does hydraulic clutches work?
by using a non-compressible fluid, it acts like a solid push-rod.
Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?
Butane gas IS compressible.
What are the differences between a liquid and a solid in volume?
By volume liquid can occupy the shape of the container ,but has got a fixed volume unless and until subjected to expansion by change in temperature and pressure. that way it is also compressible. but on the other hand solid has got fixed volume and fixed shape. it is less compressible. this is how they are different..
