yes. Gases fill any shape/container that they are put in because the particles are spaced out, where as solids don't move because the particles are close together.

What can be squashed into a small space is it liquid solid or gas?

A gas. It has no definite volume or shape.


Why can a gas be squashed easily?

A gas consists of particles having a rather loose molecular structure; the easiest way of saying it is that there's a lot of "empty space" between the molecules. When a gas is compressed (by pressure, or being led into a smaller chamber) these empty spaces are eliminated as the particles get closer to each other.

What is it called to squeeze A Gas Into A Smaller Space?

It is called compression when a gas is squeezed into a smaller space, increasing its pressure and decreasing its volume.


What is the state of matter of easily squashed?

gas is a state of matter that can be squashed.

to compress it


What happens when you force gas into a smaller space?

When gas is forced into a smaller space, the pressure of the gas increases because the molecules are more confined and collide with the walls more frequently. The volume of the gas decreases while the temperature remains constant. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law.


Why you squash a balloon are the air particles squashed?

When a balloon is squashed, the air particles inside it are compressed together within a smaller space. This compression increases the air pressure inside the balloon, causing it to resist the squashing force applied from the outside. The air particles do not get squashed individually, but rather experience increased pressure collectively.


Why does the pressure of a gas rise when it is squashed into a smaller space but it's temperature is kept the same?

When a gas is compressed into a smaller volume while maintaining a constant temperature, the molecules are forced closer together. This increases the frequency of collisions between gas molecules and the walls of the container, leading to a rise in pressure. According to Boyle's Law, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related; thus, reducing volume results in increased pressure.


What happens to the volume of a gas when squashed?

They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises. PV = nRT It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)


Can you squash gas?

Yes you can squash gas because it has a low density and it is easier as the particles aren't as strong bonded as a solid.


Can gas particules cannot be compressed into smaller spaces?

Gas particles can be compressed into smaller spaces because they have a lot of empty space between them. When gas particles are compressed, their volume decreases due to the reduction in this empty space, resulting in an increase in pressure.
