gases have large inter cellular spaces between them so when they are compressed under high pressure and low temperature the particles lose energy due to loss of heat and stop random motion and come closer and hence gas can be compressed easily

Can be compress gas?

Yes. There is a lot of space between the gas atoms, so a gas can easily be compressed.


Why are gases so easily compressible whereas it is almost impossible to compress a solid or a liquid?

Because molecules of a gas are very remote from each other.


Does gas compress easily?

Yes it does. Of the 3 common states of matter, the gas phase is the easiest to compress. This is because gas molecules are traveling very quickly and there is a lot of space between atoms, allowing room to compress.


Can liquids be compress easily?

No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.


Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?

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.


Can you compress gas?

yes you can.


What is the substance that flows easily but is difficult to compress?

Water is a substance that flows easily but is difficult to compress due to its strong intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding.


It is nearly impossible to solids and liquids?

Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.


Can you compress a gas because its particles are close together?

No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.


Can you pump 150 gallons of water into a 50 gallon tank?

You can try, but it wont work so well for you or the tank. Water doesn't compress easily. Things with air in them compress easily. Water does not have air. But if you try anyway, tell us how it goes.


What can you do to a gas but not to a solid or liquid?

compress it


Why are gases so easily compressible where as it is a almost impossible to compress a solid or liquid?

Gases have weak intermolecular forces and large spaces between particles, allowing them to be easily compressed. In contrast, solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces and fixed positions of particles, making them resistant to compression. Trying to compress a solid or liquid typically requires overcoming these strong forces, which is why it is difficult to compress them.
