Is blood a compressible fluid?
if the density of the fluid changes with respect to pressure is called compressible fluid f the density of the fluid does not changes with respect to pressure is called incompressible fluid
Which of the following substances is most compressible?
Gas is the most compressible because the atoms have the most space in between. Solids are the least compressible because their atoms are tightly packed. Degree of compressibility will depend entirely on the substance in question.
Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?
No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.
Which state of matter can be compressed easily?
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.
Why are gases so easily compressible whereas it is almost impossible to compress a solid or a liquid?
Because molecules of a gas are very remote from each other.

Are liquid compressible?
All fluids are compressible - even water. Their density will change as pressure changes. Under steady conditions, and provided that the changes in pressure are small, it is usually possible to simplify analysis of the flow by assuming it is incompressible and has constant density. Liquids are quite difficult to compress - so under most steady conditions they are treated as incompressible or "relatively incompressible." In some unsteady conditions very high pressure differences can occur and it is necessary to take these into account, even for liquids. Gases, on the contrary, are very easily compressed. It is essential in most cases to treat these as compressible, taking changes in pressure into account.

Are Solids are easily compressible?
Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles. Source: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
Is a gas easily compressed?
Yes gasses are compressible.
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible

No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.
Why a liquid have a volume?
Because it's molecules are still under strong intermolecular forces,so they are not easily compressible.
Why gases are compressible?
Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.
Are solids not appreciably compressible?
Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles. Source: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html

Why can gasses change volume (apex)?
That's because they are quite easily compressible. There are no forces holding the gas particles together. (apex)
