Why are liquid almost incompressible?
Yes. Gases are very compressible because there is a lot of empty space between the molecules. A liquid has almost no empty space between the molecules. When compressing a gas you are pushing the molecules closer together, getting rid of some of the empty space. Can't do that with liquids. Example 18grams of liquid ware will occupy 18 ml or 0.018 Liter of space (volume). Boil that same 18 grams of water and it will occupy about 24000 ml or 24 Liters of space because in the gas form the same number of molecules are farther apart with lots of empty space between them .
What what do the particles of gas have between them?
empty space
What state of matter has an amount of empty space can change?
This is a gas.
Is there a lot of space between the molecules of gas?
yes
Explain what is the difference between real gas molecules and ideal gas molecules by kinetic theory?
In an ideal gas, molecules don't take up space, and don't have long-range interactions.
What fills the space in between gas molecules Is it just empty space?
Essentially yes - it is empty space. there may be some stray particles now and then but for the most part it is empty.

A space with nothing in it?
we already know there is nothing in space, even here on earth! This is how it works: when you have a gas there is empty space in between the molecules, and you cant just fill that empty space with more molecules because that would meen that everything would have to be solid. so that empty space is nothing, gravity just holds it up. by the way if nothing did overcome space every thing would collapse in on its self, but besides that its improbable to explain.
What what do the particles of gas have between them?
empty space
Is light faster in gas or in an empty space?
Usually, in most substances the speed of light is slower than in empty space.
Why can gas be easily squashed?
A gas consists of particles having a rather loose molecular structure; the easiest way of saying it is that there's a lot of "empty space" between the molecules. When a gas is compressed (by pressure, or being led into a smaller chamber) these empty spaces are eliminated as the particles get closer to each other.

What influence gas molecules colliding?
The more often gas molecules collide the closer the particles are, this means that there is a very high volume in the space where the gas is located. Gas will expand when put into a large area in a process called diffusion.
Why liquids and solids cannot be compressed as gases can?
gases can be compressed easily because of large empty spaces between their molecules. molecules of liquids and solids are close enough that slight unfilled space is left, hense they can be compressed to a negligible extent as compared to gases.
What state of matter has an amount of empty space can change?
This is a gas.
Why is gas easier to compress than a liquid or a solid?
Gas can be compressed because the particles are far apart and have enough space to move into, solid and liquids particles have no space to move into! Hope this helps!
