Gas can be compressed because the particles are far apart and have enough space to move into, solid and liquids particles have no space to move into! Hope this helps!

What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?

The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.


Which state of matter cannot be compressed?

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


Properties of a liquid?

Liquids can flow, their particles can move about more than solid particles, you can't compress them, and they are quite dense.


Explain why liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids?

Liquids and gases are easier to compress compared to solids because their particles are more loosely packed and have more space between them. This allows for the particles to be pushed closer together when pressure is applied, resulting in a decrease in volume. In solids, the particles are already closely packed together, making it more difficult to compress them further.


Why is it easier to lift the body in liquid then in solid?

i think it's because liquids have less density than solids, and the body is lighter in liquid.


How do you explain when a state of matter is said to have definite volume?

A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.A liquid or solid will not take up a larger space than the space it occupies; even if more space is freely available.On the other hand, both a liquid and a solid are incompressible, for most practical purposes; that is, you can't compress it to use less space than the space it uses, either.


Is It is easier to compress air than water?

Yes, it is correct.


Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?

Gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids because gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them. This allows for the gas to be compressed more easily by reducing the volume of the container, as opposed to solids and liquids which have their particles closer together and experience more resistance to compression.


In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?

Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.


Are gas molecules further apart than solid molecules and liquid molecules?

Generally, the molecules in gases are further apart than molecules of the same substance in either liquid or solid state. However, note the existence of a critical temperature for each substance. Above the critical temperature, no liquid or solid phase can exist, but it would be theoretically possible to compress a supercritical substance so that it would have closer molecules than some liquid form of the same substance.


If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?

That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.


Is ice cube a solid gas or liquid?

solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
