Because they won't resist as much because in one volume of,gas there are less molecules per unit volume than in the same volume of a liquid or solid. There are less molecules in a gas to push back.

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.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
What is the common denominator in solids liquids and gases?
The common denominator would be the kinetic energy of the particles making up the solids, liquids, and gases.
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 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.

Why do you use liquids not solids or gases in thermometers?
because liquids can give us the right temperature but solids and gases
Why do you think it is easier to find solids then liquids and gases?
I think because mostly it is solids that are all around you, and what you notice the most. So you don't really pay attension to liquids or gases unless your handling them.
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
Can you compression a liquid why or why not?
Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
About speed of sounds in different media?
the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.
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.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
