Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.

What cannot be compressed in fourteen letters?

Something that is "incompressible"


Can plasma and BEC change into other state of matter?

plasma is most likely to be there in the space. so it cannot undergo to any states of matter as it is considered as a state of matter. coming to Bose Einstein condensate(BEC) it undergoes to it stse when the gas is cooled to lower and lower temperature.


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.


Why liquids cannot be compressed?

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 .


What is the meaning of 'property' in science terms?

"property" or "properties" are the things that distinguish the difference between matters eg: solids - Cannot be compressed, does not take the shape of container etc.A characteristic or feature of matter every type of matter has its own set of properties such as colour or density

Matter must have mass to exist.


Which sate of matter can be compressed and can flow?

A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.


What matter state causes a force in one direction only?

If you mean compressed, then the answer is a gas.


What phases are able to be compressed?

The phases that can be compressed are typically the gaseous and vaporous phases of matter. Liquids and solids generally cannot be compressed as easily due to their closely packed molecules.


What are the steps you need to do to find out the states of matter?

Solid - cannot be compressed have definite shape and volume Liquid- cannot be compressed have definite volume but no definite shape Gas- no definite shape and volume can be compressed Note: check all above! Done by : Justin Bieber


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.


How can you get kicked out of a state?

No you cannot get kicked out a state. No matter what you do.


Which state of matter is highly compressible?

Gases. Also, there are really four states; Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.


What form of matter takes the shape of the container but can't be compressed?

A gas is a form of matter that takes the shape of its container but cannot be easily compressed. Gas particles are widely spaced and move freely, allowing them to fill the entire volume of the container they are in.
