They can. It is just a lot more difficult than with gases. Solids cannot be compressed at all.
Liquids cannot be compressed because when a force is applied the liquid particles have no room between they to move around, whereas gas particles are free to move because they have a lots of room between them to move around in.
What else can I help you with?
Why cant a liquid be squashed or compressed?
They are not! the atoms of any liquid are held so tight that can can just slide over each other. infact you cannot compress them simply because the force of repulsion between the atoms will not allow them to come more closer. take a situation , if you pressurise a liquid with a piston, what will happen? do it of your own u'll get to know if they are compressible or not. and if they had to be y should we be using pipelines to transport oil, we should have compressed forms in a container and should have transported them in that way.. it should have saved our money as well!
What cannot be compressed in fourteen letters?
Something that is "incompressible"
Is water easy to squash?
No. Since water is a liquid it is not easily compressed.
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 can't you squash a solid or a liquid?
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.
Why can't liquid and solides be compressed?
they simply cant the stuff inside forbid them
Why cant a substance no longer be compressed when changes from gas to liquid?
A lquid has a more compact structure.
Why a liquid can not be compressed?
It can.
Is the compressed liquid has the same meaning to saturated liquid?
No - compressed liquid is at a pressure above the boiling point pressure of the liquid. A saturated liquid is right at that boiling point. If you try to drop the pressure on a saturated liquid, it will begin to boil. If you start dropping the pressue on a compressed liquid, it will remail a stable liquid unit you have dropped it to the saturation pressure.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.
Are there any gases that can turn into a liquid?
Many gasses will turn to liquid when compressed, as in Propane, when compressed becomes liquid propane gas LPG
Which can be compressed more easily gas or liquid?
gas can be compressed easier.
Where do you use the fact that gases can be compressed and liquids cannot?
a liquid can be compressed
What are the differences between a gas and a liquid?
A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.A gas can freely expand and be compressed, depending on the pressure. A liquid is practical incompressible.
What can't be conpressed?
solids cannot be compressed at all, if you compress a liquid enough it will become a solid by freezing, gasses can be compressed however if compressed enough it will become a liquid
A gas but not a liquid or a solid can be?
Compressed.
