Are solids dense and incompressible?
Yes, solids are both dense and incompressible.
What is the only matter is rigid and incompressible?
solids
Why are solids incompressible?
The arrangement of particles are packed together.
Can you compression a liquid why or why not?
Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.
Which term is pulling force of exerted by solids?
The force exerted by solids when pulled is called tensile force.
What are the names of the properties that liquids and solids share?
They are both incompressible, and they have a fixed volume at a fixed temperature.
Which are associated with solids?
tension and compression
Why are liquids and solids incompressible?
molecular structure
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.
Which term is a pulling force exerted by solids?
Tension is a pulling force that is exerted by solids.
What is the physical state of matter of incompressible?
Solids. They are most resistant to outer forces; but strictly speaking all materials are compressible.
Why are the gases highly compressible while solids are almost incompressible?
gases are highly compressible as there molecules have lots of spaces between them while in molecules of solids there is not much space and they are tightly packed .
