gases are highly compressible as there molecules have lots of spaces between them while in molecules of solids there is not much space and they are tightly packed .

Why are liquids and solids incompressible?
molecular structure
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
Fixed volume but match their container?
Solids are rigid and incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but match their container. Gases completely fill their container.
Which of the following best explains why CO2 gas is easily compressible but solid CO2 (dry ice) is incompressible?
The intermolecular forces are stronger in solids.
What are 4 physical properties of a mineral?
rock is a solid so the physical properties are that of solids rigid definite mass and volume that is definite density cannot flow incompressible there are exceptions

Are solids dense and incompressible?
Yes, solids are both dense and incompressible.
What is the only matter is rigid and incompressible?
solids
Why are solids incompressible?
The arrangement of particles are packed together.
What are the names of the properties that liquids and solids share?
They are both incompressible, and they have a fixed volume at a fixed temperature.
Since solids are incompressible is the squeezing of a sponge called compression?
Yes, squeezing of a sponge is called compression

What is the physical state of matter of incompressible?
Solids. They are most resistant to outer forces; but strictly speaking all materials are compressible.

What is rigid and incompressible in chemistry?
Because there are smaller spaces between their molecules, liquids and solids are considered incompressible under practical conditions. (This is one reason that hydraulic systems can work.) Gases that are very highly compressed may change phase to liquid or solid when compressed.Air Flow and CompressibilityIt depends on the Mach number and the changes in density occurring for that physical process. Eg. Airflow from a fan in a room is considered incompressible flow although air is a gas; even airflow over gliders and low speed aircraft is reasonably incompressible. However, flow over high speed aircraft (above Mach 0.3) can be safely assumed to be compressible, as density changes of gas cannot be neglected.The same applies to liquids and solids. However since the speed of sound in solids and liquids is very high, it is difficult to acheive mach 0.3 without causing a very large pressure difference. Hence these flows are assumed to be incompressible flows.
