The particles in the gas phase are most easily compressed. Solids and liquids are generally considered to be incompressible (at least ideally) Solids are even less compressible than liquids due to the stronger intermolecular interactions. Further explanation: The compressibility of gas can be seen in the ideal gas law PV = NRT; P - pressure V - volume N- moles R - constant T - Temp (in kelvin) If you hold the temperature and increase the pressure volume goes down.

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.


What state of matter is a material most likely to resist compression?

The state of matter a material is most likely to resist compression is liquid. Liquids cannot be compressed and this is what supports hydraulics.
