Gases are easily compressible because their particles have more space between them and move freely. Solids, on the other hand, have particles packed closely together in a fixed position, making them resistant to compression. So, while gases can be compressed into a smaller volume, solids maintain their shape and volume because of their close-packed structure.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it easier to squash a gas?
it is easier to squash a gas because the particles are so spread out. this means they have room to move therefore they can all move into one place so can be squashed. they are not joined will means they can move anywhere.
Are liquids easy to squash?
One property of liquids is that, unlike gases, they cannot be compressed.No. It is not dense enough.
Are particles closer together in solids or gases?
I think solids... I'm not 100 % sure though.
Why are solids, liquids, and gases considered matter?
Solids, liquids, and gases are considered matter because they have mass and occupy space. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, and solids, liquids, and gases all meet these criteria.
Which property do liquid and gases have that solids don't?
The ability to flow and take the shape of their container is a property of liquids and gases that solids do not have. This property is known as fluidity.
Are gases easier to squash than the other 2 states of matter?
By "squash" it would seem you are thinking of compressing into a smaller volume. The simple answer to that is: YES. Because the molecules in gases are more widely spaced than solids or liquids, they have less resistance to being brought closer together, i.e. squashed.
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 you squash a gas but not a solid?
cause you can feel it and touch it
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
Would it be easier to separate solutions of gases or solids?
i would say solids but it depends on how good youare with solids or gases. hope this helps :)
Dose conduction work in solids liquids or gases?
conduction take place in solids and gases
Why is it easier to squash a gas?

What are not like gases?
Solids and liquids are not like gases.
What properties of solids distinguish them from solids and gases?
Solids don't change their size or shape.
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
