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.

Are most solids dense and difficult to compress?
yes
What are the Two states of matter that occupy a definite volume are?
You must be asking about solids and liquids. These two states of matter are very hard to compress as opposed to gasses, which are very easy to compress.
Explain why liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids?
In layman's terms, a substance is heated to transform it from a solid, to a liquid to a gas. When this is done, the molecules get more excited and move. This leaves more spaces between the molecules and breaks the bond that exists in the solid form.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids?
With gases, there is already a lot of space in between the particles. Therefore, the particles can be pushed more closely together than in liquids, since the particles in liquids are already much closer together.
Are liquids easy to compress?
yes it is true well i think so its just what my friend told me sorry if wrong conplane if you want to
Which state of matter cannot be compressed?
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
It is nearly impossible to blank solids and liquids?
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
Can liquids be compress easily?
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
Is a liquid difficult to compress or force into a smaller space?
Yes, liquids are hard to compress. That's what makes hydraulics so useful when it comes to the transfer of force. Hydraulics can lift thousands of pounds with minimal effort.
It is nearly impossible to solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
About speed of sounds in different media?
the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.
Is it nearly impossible to compress liquids and solids?
yes
Is it more difficult to compress a liquid than gas?
yes, because liquids are already touching each other. They cannot be squashed. Squashing a gas builds pressure.
Are gases less rigid then liquids and solids?
Yes.
Characteristics of liquid?
Liquid have no fixed shape as they confirm to the shape of the container that holds the liquid. Liquids do have a fixed volume. Liquids are difficult to compress, not as much so as a solid matter but not as easy to do so as a gas.
What is impossible to do with solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
What are two characteristics of fluids?
Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Gas is easy to compress and expands to fill its container while liquid is hard to compress.
