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 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?

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.


Are solids incompressible materials?

Solids are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases. This means that solids can be compressed slightly under high pressure, but their volume does not change significantly compared to liquids and gases.


Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?

No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.


Does change in pressure affect the solubility of solids?

The solubility of solids and liquids show virtually no changes with pressure. However, solubility increases with pressure in the solubility of gases in liquids.


Is carbon monoxide compressible?

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.


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.

What properties do all gases share?

All gases have the ability to expand to fill their container, are compressible, and have low density compared to liquids and solids.
