The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.

Similarities between hydraulics and pneumatics?
easy: Both use pressure now hydrolics used liquids (liquids cannot be compressed) to exhert pressure pneumatics uses gasses which are compressed to exhurt pressure thtas the basics anyway
Do liquids have greatest spaces between particles so they can be compressed?
No, gasses do.
Can liuid be compressed?
Yes, liquids can be compressed, but relatively little, and requiring much higher pressures compared to gasses.
Why liquids are incompressibility?
Liquids are cannot be compressed because the particles are close together and compact- this means that the particles cannot get closer together. Therefore liquids can't be compressed.
Where do you use the fact that gases can be compressed and liquids cannot?
a liquid can be compressed
How will you show that gases can be compressed while liquids and solids cannot be compressed?
baybi
Why the petrol cannot be compressed?
Liquids in general have very little space between molecules. Gases have lots of space, and therefore can be easily compressed, but liquids don't.
Why are liquids used in brakes instead of gases?
Because liquids can't be compressed. Whatever movement you put in at one end you get back at the other. Gasses can be compressed, like a spring, which is kinda awkward if you want to build something that can be closely controlled.
What can't be conpressed?
solids cannot be compressed at all, if you compress a liquid enough it will become a solid by freezing, gasses can be compressed however if compressed enough it will become a liquid
Why can't solid be compressed?
Solids CAN be compressed but, compared to gasses, it's very difficult to tell. Solids, like liquids, are more difficult to compress than gasses because their atoms are much closer together and impart proportionally more force on each other
How does pressure affect liquids?
Liquids cannot be compressed or expanded. However, if you "squeeze" water, it will find its way out between your fingers. Hope this helps.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
