This is due to the fact that the particles of the liquid are close together and have a definite volume, whereas the particles of the gas are far apart and do not have a definite volume.

Liquids are, for all intents and purposes, incompressible (there's an entire field of engineering ... hydraulics ... based on this fact). Gases are easily compressible.

This makes it possible for gases to be compressed very easily.
Solids are least compressible out of three states of matter.

Gases have a very low density and this is the cause of their high compressibility.

Is displacement of liquid by liquid easier than by gas?
Yes, Liquid -Liquid displacement is easier than displacement with gas. the liquids cannot be compressible, but gas can. the volume of gas required for displacement is lower than volume of liquid.
Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
Why can you not compress a liquid?
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.
Is liquid more condensed than gas?
yes, the atoms are more compressed in liquid than gas
Is the density of a liquid greater than the liquid of a gas?
refrase your question, please, especially concerning........liquid greater than the liquid........because the molecules in the liquid are packed closer together than in the gas
What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?
The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.
Is displacement of liquid by liquid easier than by gas?
Yes, Liquid -Liquid displacement is easier than displacement with gas. the liquids cannot be compressible, but gas can. the volume of gas required for displacement is lower than volume of liquid.
Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?
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.
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.
What can you do to a gas but not to a solid or liquid?
compress it
Which is the hardest to compress?
(see question Which is harder to compress solid liquid or gas)
How can you change gas to liquid?
-- Cool it. -- Compress it (but you must also cool it while you compress it).
IS LPG GAS a fuel oil?

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.
Why does liquid compress much less than a gas does?
This is due to the fact that the particles of the liquid are close together and have a definite volume, whereas the particles of the gas are far apart and do not have a definite volume.
Is it more difficult to compress a liquid than gas?
yes, because liquids are already touching each other. They cannot be squashed. Squashing a gas builds pressure.
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.
