Because the intramolecular forces of solids and liquids already provide an amount of force compressing the atoms to a point that they are no longer as easily compressed.
No, liquids have particles that are close together but still able to move past each other. This is why liquids are not easily compressed like gases. Gases have the greatest spaces between particles and are more easily 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.
The substance is likely a liquid. Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape and take the shape of their container. Additionally, liquids are generally considered incompressible compared to gases.
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
Gases can be compressed or expanded to the greatest degree compared to liquids and solids. This is because gas particles are more spread out and have more freedom of movement, allowing them to easily compress or expand in response to changes in pressure.
No, liquids have particles that are close together but still able to move past each other. This is why liquids are not easily compressed like gases. Gases have the greatest spaces between particles and are more easily compressed.
Kerosene is a liquid; the compressibilty of liquids is very low.
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
not easily compressed definite mass i think
Liquids CAN be compressed ... but not as much as gasses, nor as easily. The reason is that there is no "free space" between the molecules of a liquid (nor of a solid), but there is between the molecules of a gas.
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.
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.
compared to gasses, liquids are not easily compressed since the atoms are much closer together (denser) than that of a gas. Compared to a solid, liquids are much more flexible and easily conform to the inside of a hose (brake hose)
Liquids and solids have particles that are already in close proximity and held together by strong intermolecular forces, making compressing them difficult. In contrast, gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be compressed more easily.
Petrol is a liquid and does not easily compress because its molecules are already close together. When pressure is applied, the molecules can't be pushed closer, so the volume remains relatively constant. Liquids like petrol have more resistance to compression compared to gases.
Because liquids cannot be easily compressed into a smaller space.
The substance is likely a liquid. Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape and take the shape of their container. Additionally, liquids are generally considered incompressible compared to gases.
