Because molecules of a gas are very remote from each other.

Why is a solid much more harder to compress than a gas?
The molecules in a solid are closely packed together in an orderly arrangement, leaving no spaces in between the molecules, therefore making compress difficult and almost impossible without use of machinery.
What happens when a syringe contains gas and is plunged into water?
All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid. The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.
Why are gases highly compressiable while solids are almost incompressible?
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 gases so easily compressible where as it is a almost impossible to compress a solid or liquid?
There is plenty of space between the molecules of a gas but relatively little between those of a solid or liquid.
Why are the gases highly compressible while solids are almost incompressible?
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 difficult to compress?
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
Why is a solid much more harder to compress than a gas?
The molecules in a solid are closely packed together in an orderly arrangement, leaving no spaces in between the molecules, therefore making compress difficult and almost impossible without use of machinery.

Is oxygen compressible?
All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed. For example, compressed oxygen is used in emergency vehicles to keep people alive if they are injured or sick. It is extremely flammable, almost explosive so no smoking near a compressed oxygen gas cylinder, OK?
