What else can I help you with?
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.
How compressible is air?
Air is compressible because it is a gas and its molecules have space between them that can be reduced when pressure is applied. The compressibility of air can be described by its bulk modulus, which is a measure of its resistance to compression. At standard atmospheric conditions, air is relatively compressible compared to liquids and solids.
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
Which of the following substances is most compressible?
Gas is the most compressible because the atoms have the most space in between. Solids are the least compressible because their atoms are tightly packed. Degree of compressibility will depend entirely on the substance in question.
What happens to the volume of liquids and gasses when the pressure is applied to them is increased?
When pressure is applied to liquids and gases, their volumes generally decrease. Gases are more compressible than liquids, so an increase in pressure leads to a significant reduction in gas volume, following Boyle's Law. In contrast, liquids are only slightly compressible, resulting in a minimal change in volume under increased pressure. Overall, the relationship between pressure and volume is inversely proportional for gases, while liquids experience negligible volume changes.
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
Why are liquids compressible?
Generally they aren't.
What are the properties of land?
Liquids does not have a definite shape, but have a definite volume. Diffusion is a slow process and liquids are compressible.

Do gases and liquids share the compressibility property?
Gases and liquid do not share the same compressibility property. In liquids, the molecules are approximately lesser compressed, that Is why they move around freely and does not have fixed shape. While gas is the most compressible and it doesn't have a shape.
Are Solids are easily compressible?
Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles. Source: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
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.
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 are liquids more compressible than solids?
i also want the answer of this question...please help??it's important.....
What are the physical properties of a substance in a liquid state?
All liquids take the shape of their container. Liquids are non compressible. About 12% of the intermolecular bonds have been broken.
