Want this question answered?
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.
gases have large inter cellular spaces between them so when they are compressed under high pressure and low temperature the particles lose energy due to loss of heat and stop random motion and come closer and hence gas can be compressed easily
Gas: particles are well separated with no regular arrangement, they vibrate and move freely at high speeds, they assume the shape and volume of their container, they can be compressed, they can move freely past one another. Liquids: particles are close together with no regular arrangement, they vibrate, move about, and slide past each other, assume the shape of the container they occupy, they are not easily compressed, they flow easily. Solids: particles are tightly packed usually in a regular pattern, they vibrate but do not move from place to place, retain a fixed volume and shape, they are not easily compressible, and they do not flow easily.
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.
Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.
gases because of the space between the particles
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
Gases.

It is because gas is actually not very dense the particles are relavily far apart allowing it to be compressed
Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.

Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles. Source: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
Gases move freely because there are more spaces between particles of gases.So they can move easily.
The size of a gas particle is negligible as compares to the volume of the container in which the gas is placed. Gases are mostly empty space, and this is evident because gases can be easily compressed.
i assume you mean solid. Solid particles are closer packed together, where liquid particles are less closely packed together. Solids, apart from rice and sand, cannot be poured and apart from sponge cannot be squeezed. Liquids can be poured but are not easily compressed
not easily compressible
