In liquid state as the temperature is higher the atoms or molecules are at random motion with greater speed. Hence the field coverage of protons will be wide and there will be repulsive force dominant. Hence as we compress the liquid this repulsive force becomes more as the distance gets reduced and so liquids generally are incompressible.

In fact you can, (depending on the temp) but the conditions are frequently "unearthly". See papers on the possible core of Jupiter.

add. The inner core of the earth has a temperature about the same as that of the surface of the Sun - 57 000 deg C. But the inner core is solid because of the great pressure. Moving outwards from the core, we next meet the outer core, essentially the same extreme temperature, but it is liquid now because of the reduced pressure.

What can liquid and gas do that solid cannot?

Liquid and gas can flow and change shape to fit their containers, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases can also be easily compressed or expanded, which is difficult for solids to do.


Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?

A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.


Can solid be compressed Give reason?

Solids cannot be compressed easily because their particles are arranged closely together in a fixed position. When external pressure is applied, the particles cannot move closer together, causing the solid to resist compression. However, under extreme pressure, solids can be compressed slightly due to the deformation of their atomic structure.


Can liquids and solid be compressed?

No, because solid and liquid have a definite shape. In practical terms the above it correct. However with great pressure many solids and liquids can be compressed into a more compact arrangement.


How many states of matter can be compressed?

One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.

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


Is ice a liquid state?

Ice is a solid.It has a definite volume, definite shape, and cannot be compressed, which are properties of solids.


Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?

The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.

Can jelly be compressed?

True. Jelly is a kind of a Liquid as it was originated from a kind of Liquid. But, Liquids can't be compressed. The understanding of why it can be compressed is that Jelly has a particular or definite appearance and measurement. so, it is acknowledged in the Solid-state. And, Solids can be compressed if you have sufficient pressure on it.


Does a fire extinguisher have liquid in it?

Some fire extinguishers have liquid; some have solids; some have compressed gas; some have combinations of gas, liquids and solids.

Do liquid compressed?

No, liquid cannot be compressed because you use syringe put water and you use your hand block the hole you push you cannot push.


How do you determine a substance which is a solid?

Solids have a strict shape and volume. Solids do not flow and they are usually cannot be easily compressed.


Why can't liquid be compressed?

They can. It is just a lot more difficult than with gases. Solids cannot be compressed at all.Liquids cannot be compressed because when a force is applied the liquid particles have no room between they to move around, whereas gas particles are free to move because they have a lots of room between them to move around in.
