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.

∙ 13y agothis is because there is more space between the atoms of the gas then their is between the atoms of liquids therefor there is more spacew to be squashed or compressed out.

Why is fluidity higher in gases than liquids?
gases have less force of attraction and more space between the moleculesas compare to liquids.
Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?
Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.
Why are gases compressible and liquids and solids are not?
Gases are compressible because there is large amounts of space between the gas particles which allow them to be compressed together under pressure. For liquids there is very little space between the particles so when put under pressure their is very little visable compression. And for solids there is no space between the particles so there is no compression possible.
Why would molecules of gas diffuse more quickly then those of a liquid?
Gases have more energy than liquids so they expand more quickly
Why do gases diffuse more easily than liquids?
The molecules that make up gases are spread farther apart than the molecules that make up liquids, and gas molecules are moving more rapidly. Individual gas molecules have less of an attraction between them than the the molecules making up liquids. That combined with their more rapid movement causes them to be able to diffuse more easily than liquids. Both being fluids, gases are more thinly distrbuted than liquids, which allows them to be diffused more easily. Think of fluids as a large party of people, all holding hands, and you could think of gases as a large party of people equipped with jetpacks. You turn on a very powerful fan. The party of jetpacks will be more easily affected since they're not supported by a link to one another; the party of hand-holders might still be affected, but has a much stronger bond and will not disperse as easily.
Why solids is not compressible why?
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
Why gases are compressible not liquids?
The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
Why are liquids sometimes more practical to use in a hydraulic system than gases?
Because liquids cannot be easily compressed into a smaller space.
Why are gases compressible but not liquid?
The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
Why are liquids more compressible than solids?
i also want the answer of this question...please help??it's important.....
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
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.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids or solids?
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
Why is fluidity higher in gases than liquids?
gases have less force of attraction and more space between the moleculesas compare to liquids.
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 gases expand more than solid or liquids when they are heated?

Why carbon dioxide can be compressed more than milk?
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
