What are the Two states of matter that occupy a definite volume are?
You must be asking about solids and liquids. These two states of matter are very hard to compress as opposed to gasses, which are very easy to compress.
Why are liquids difficult to compress?
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
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 are gases more compressible than liquids?
With gases, there is already a lot of space in between the particles. Therefore, the particles can be pushed more closely together than in liquids, since the particles in liquids are already much closer together.
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.
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.
It is nearly impossible to blank solids and liquids?
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
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.
Can liquids be compress easily?
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
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 are the Two states of matter that occupy a definite volume are?
You must be asking about solids and liquids. These two states of matter are very hard to compress as opposed to gasses, which are very easy to compress.
It is nearly impossible to solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
Why are liquids difficult to compress?
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
Is it nearly impossible to compress liquids and solids?
yes
What are the traits of a gas?
The traits of gas are no definite volume, shape and mass. Gases are also easy to compress and can occupy far more spaces than solids and liquids from which they form.
Properties of gases?
Properties ofGASES: usually float, they are in bottle or balloons, they are easy to compress, they expand to fill their containers & they occupy far more space than the liquids of solids from which they form.
What is impossible to do with solids and liquids?
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
