The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How you can show gases are more compressible than solid and liquid?
The expeiment is simple: under an applied pressure the volume of a gas decrease.
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.
Is alcohol compressible?
No, it is a liquid.
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.
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a gas?
liquid particles have limited movements while gas particles will spread to fill the whole container uniformly (limited only by the container's volume) the particle interaction in liquid is much stronger than in gases gases are compressible while liquids are not

Do gases and liquids share the compressibility property?
Gases and liquid do not share the same compressibility property. In liquids, the molecules are approximately lesser compressed, that Is why they move around freely and does not have fixed shape. While gas is the most compressible and it doesn't have a shape.
Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?
Yes, fluids can exist as both gases and liquids. In general, gases have low density, are compressible, and fill the entire volume of their container, while liquids have higher density, are not easily compressible, and have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
Name of gases that are compressible?
All gases are compressible (even all fluids and solids are, though much lesser), so there is no special name needed for this group because it is not special.
Why gases are compressible not liquids?
The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
