No they cannot be compressed easily. It is hard to compress a liquid but not impossible, however.
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.
We can't say that liquids cannot be compressed we can compress them but very little . To know why we have to understand the concept of intermolecular attraction and interparticle space . ¤Intermolecular Attraction - It is attraction force between molecules of different elements that bound the molecules together . *Interparticle Space - It is the space between the atoms , molecules and particles of different elements . The lipuids cannot be compressed much because io liquid intermolecular attration is quite high due to which interparticle space is less due to which it can't be compressed much .
In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed.
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.
a liquid can be compressed
Liquids are cannot be compressed because the particles are close together and compact- this means that the particles cannot get closer together. Therefore liquids can't be compressed.

No, liquids have particles that are close together but still able to move past each other. This is why liquids are not easily compressed like gases. Gases have the greatest spaces between particles and are more easily compressed.
Yes, liquids can be compressed, but relatively little, and requiring much higher pressures compared to gasses.
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(:
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.
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.
Liquids CAN be compressed ... but not as much as gasses, nor as easily. The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.
Kerosene is a liquid; the compressibilty of liquids is very low.
easy: Both use pressure now hydrolics used liquids (liquids cannot be compressed) to exhert pressure pneumatics uses gasses which are compressed to exhurt pressure thtas the basics anyway
Liquids cannot be compressed or expanded. However, if you "squeeze" water, it will find its way out between your fingers. Hope this helps.
