Compression is that ability to force a gas to fit into a smaller space. It has many benefits such as transportation when contained. When uncompressed, it can perform mechanical actions on ships and vehicles.

How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
How is the space of atoms in a solid different from a liquid and a gas?
A solid is more compact.
Which states of matter are virtually incompressible to smaller volume?
You can force gas into a smaller volume, and it will expand to fill any container you put it in.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
What is to squeeze gas into a smaller space?
We usually apply the term compression to the act of squeezing a fluid to force it into a smaller volume or increase its pressure. The term applies to gases as well as fluids.

Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
What happens when you force gas into a smaller space?
it might explode if you put it in a smaller space.
What would increase the pressure of gas?
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.
Would increase the pressure of a gas?
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.

How is the space of atoms in a solid different from a liquid and a gas?
A solid is more compact.
The ability of a fluid a liquid or a gas to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it?
Buoyancy.

We usually apply the term compression to the act of squeezing a fluid to force it into a smaller volume or increase its pressure. The term applies to gases as well as fluids.
What would happen if you tried to squeeze gas into a smaller container?
the force of the particals would prevent you from doing it.
Ability to force a gas into smaller space is called what?
It is called compressibility. The compressibility of gases can be explained by the kinetic particle theory: due to the large amount of space between the gas particles and the weak attraction forces between them, gases can easily be compressed (the particles are brought closer to each other, thus reducing the volume of the gas).
Why can a gas be squeezed into a smaller container?
This is possible because gases have the physical property of elasticity, due to the fact that there are relatively large spaces between the molecules of gases.
