The incompressibility of a solid is primarily due to the closely packed arrangement of its particles, which are held together by strong intermolecular forces. This tight packing means that there is very little space between the particles, making it difficult to compress them further. Additionally, the rigid structure of solids limits the movement of particles, preventing significant changes in volume under pressure.

Sponge is solid yet it is compressible the presence of the inter particle spaces or voids which are filled with air and make it compressible.


Is an amorphous solid or a crystalline solid more compressible?

Amorphous solids are generally more compressible than crystalline solids because they lack a regular atomic arrangement, allowing their structure to deform more easily under pressure. Crystalline solids have a well-defined lattice structure that makes them more resistant to compression.


Are pebbles compressible?

Yes, pebbles are compressible to some degree. When force is applied to a pebble, it can experience compression, leading to a decrease in volume. However, due to their solid and dense nature, pebbles are not as compressible as, for example, a gas or a sponge.


What is compressible is it a gas a liquid or a solid?

It depends on the element or compound that you are working with. Try wikipedia.


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


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.


Is oxygen compressible?

All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed. For example, compressed oxygen is used in emergency vehicles to keep people alive if they are injured or sick. It is extremely flammable, almost explosive so no smoking near a compressed oxygen gas cylinder, OK?
