Because a solid allready has a form that is why you cant compress it

When we compress a stone with your hand you can't compress it why?
BECAUSE in case of stone the molecules are closly packed and they have no vacant space between them and they have not the ability to close to each other so when we compress a stone we cant compress it
Is sponge a solid?
Yes it is, it is a solid with many air holes so you can compress it, but then it goes back into it original shape. Unlike Liquids and Gases, which cant.
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.
What is to squeeze gas into a smaller space called?
We usually apply the term compression to the act of squeezing a fluid to force it into a smaller volume or increase its pressure. The term applies to gases as well as fluids.
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.
Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
What can you do to a gas but not to a solid or liquid?
compress it
Sponge is a solid yet you ca compress it why?
You can only compress it to its existing volume (which you can't change without changing the density). The key is that a sponge isn't completely solid, it has pockets of air throughout it. Thus, you can compress those pockets of air and never change the volume of the actual solid.
Which state of matter expands when hated and is easy to compress?
solid
Which state of matter expands when heated and is easy to compress?
solid

Can you compress a gas because its particles are close together?
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
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.
Why are solids not easy to compress as gases?
The molecules of solid are already intact that you cannot compress them any further unless there are spaces left.
Which one would compress more a solid rubber bicycle or a inflated mountain bike tire?
A "solid rubber bicycle" wouldn't be particularly useful, so I assume that you actually mean a comparison between a solid and an inflated bicycle tire. Answer: It depends. An inflated tire of a very high pressure will compress less than a solid tyre made out of soft rubber. OTOH a hard rubber solid tyre will compress less than a low-pressure inflatable tyre.
Is sponge a solid?
Yes it is, it is a solid with many air holes so you can compress it, but then it goes back into it original shape. Unlike Liquids and Gases, which cant.
Is a solid hard to compress?
Yes they are, because the atoms are packed closely together
