No. Imagine a sponge. A sponge is a solid, but since the atoms aren't that close together, they sponge is still malleable. Another example would be when you put a nail into a piece of wood, the nail remains there because you just compressed the wood inside around the nail which keeps a firm grip on the nail.

∙ 9y agoNo, solids are typically considered incompressible because their particles are closely packed and have limited ability to change volume under pressure. However, under extreme conditions, solids can exhibit compressibility to a small extent.

Solids typically expand the least when heated compared to liquids and gases. The molecules in a solid are already closely packed together, so there is less room for them to move around and increase in volume when heated.
Yes, steel is compressible. When subjected to a compressive force, steel can be compressed and its volume will decrease. However, steel is known to be relatively resistant to compression compared to other materials.
Yes, carbon monoxide is compressible. Like all gases, it can be easily compressed into a smaller volume by increasing pressure. This is due to the fact that gases have more empty space between their particles compared to solids and liquids.
Gas is compressible and will expand to fill any container it is put in. Liquid is not compressible and will maintain a fixed volume regardless of the container it is in.
The seven phases of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate, fermionic condensate, and quark-gluon plasma. Each phase has distinct properties based on the arrangement and behavior of the particles that make up the substance.

Sponge is solid yet it is compressible the presence of the inter particle spaces or voids which are filled with air and make it compressible.
Yes, pebbles are compressible to some degree. When force is applied to a pebble, it can experience compression, leading to a decrease in volume. However, due to their solid and dense nature, pebbles are not as compressible as, for example, a gas or a sponge.
It depends on the element or compound that you are working with. Try wikipedia.
solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed. For example, compressed oxygen is used in emergency vehicles to keep people alive if they are injured or sick. It is extremely flammable, almost explosive so no smoking near a compressed oxygen gas cylinder, OK?
by using a non-compressible fluid, it acts like a solid push-rod.
By volume liquid can occupy the shape of the container ,but has got a fixed volume unless and until subjected to expansion by change in temperature and pressure. that way it is also compressible. but on the other hand solid has got fixed volume and fixed shape. it is less compressible. this is how they are different..
Sponge is solid because its particles are closely packed together, but it is compressible due to the nature of its porous structure. The empty spaces or pores within the sponge allow it to easily deform and compress when pressure is applied, making it squishy and flexible.
no salt is not compressible
Gas can be compressed because the particles are far apart and have enough space to move into, solid and liquids particles have no space to move into! Hope this helps!
