The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.

Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
Can liquids be compress easily?
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
For an external oil cooler for example can a freon compressor be used to pump engine oil?
No. The purpose of a compressor is not to cool it is to compress. A freon compressor keeps freon under pressure to restore its liquid state. If you tried to run oil trhough it the compressor would probably blow up pretty quickly because you can't compress a liquid. You can compress a gas to a liquid but it won't compress beyond that. For an external oil cooler go to a junk yard and get a heater core or even a factory oil cooler from a transmission.
What is compressibility of liquids?
That means how easy it is to compress the liquid - to reduce its volume by applying pressure. Liquids are normally not very compressible.
What is the change in volume from gaseous air to liquid air?
A change in volume is a change in volume - there is no difference. The question, as asked, is therefore meaningless. However if you try to compress air, its volume will decrease (because the gaseous state of matter is compressible). On the other and if you try and compress a liquid the volume will not change as the liquid state of matter is incompressible (that is why/how hydraulic machines work).
How can hydrogen be changed into a liquid?

What can you do to a gas but not to a solid or liquid?
compress it
How can you change gas to liquid?
-- Cool it. -- Compress it (but you must also cool it while you compress it).
What happens to a liquid when you compress it?
Hard form such as ice
Can liquids be compress easily?
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
What is the descripton of a liquid?
Shapeless,takes shapes of container,and not easy to compress
Does packaged water need ullage?
Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.
Why does it take an enormous amount of pressure to compress a liquid?
It takes more pressure to compress a liquid than a gas because the molecules in a liquid are already much closer together than the molecules in a gas. To get them even closer requires a great deal of pressure.
IS LPG GAS a fuel oil?
EXACTLY NO WHY BECAUS LPT IS LIQUID PETROLIUM GAS,THAT MEANS WHER THE GAS GET THE LIQUID STAGE AT THAT POINT THEY CATCH THE LIQUID AND THEY COMPRESS THE GAS AND STORE IN A CYLINDER EXACTLY NO WHY BECAUS LPT IS LIQUID PETROLIUM GAS,THAT MEANS WHER THE GAS GET THE LIQUID STAGE AT THAT POINT THEY CATCH THE LIQUID AND THEY COMPRESS THE GAS AND STORE IN A CYLINDER
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.
How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid liquid or gas?
The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.
