Gases have the space between their molecules, and so can be compressed the most. Next is liquid which has more space between the molecules than a solid, but not as much space as in a gas. So, it an be compressed also, but not as much as can a gas. And finally, a solid does not have much space between molecules and thus cannot be compressed too much.

Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?

Liquids and solids have particles that are already in close proximity and held together by strong intermolecular forces, making compressing them difficult. In contrast, gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be compressed more easily.


Can liquids and solid be compressed?

No, because solid and liquid have a definite shape. In practical terms the above it correct. However with great pressure many solids and liquids can be compressed into a more compact arrangement.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


Why can you squash gases?

In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed .


Why can gases be squeezed much more than solids and liquids?

Gases have more space between their particles, which allows them to be compressed more than solids and liquids. In gases, the particles are in constant random motion and have higher kinetic energy, making them more easily squeezed together. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces that resist compression.


What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?

Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases


Why carbon dioxide can be compressed more than milk?

Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:


How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?

Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex


Are gases less rigid then liquids and solids?

Yes.


Why is it easier to find solids and liquids than gases?

Humans are more use to engaging and thinking about solids than liquids or gases. They are easier to find because they are what we are looking for.


How are the properties of a gas different then the properties of a liquid or a soild?

gases can be compressed where as a solid can not. liquids can be compressed slightly, but not as much as a gas can be gases have a greater surface area, and greater kinetic energy, so a substance is more reactive as a gas rather than as a solid or liquid


A blended mixture of two or more solids liquids and gases is called what?

A blended mixture of two or more solids, liquids, and/or gases is called a heterogeneous mixture.
