No, because solid and liquid have a definite shape.
In practical terms the above it correct. However with great pressure many solids and liquids can be compressed into a more compact arrangement.
One property of liquids is that, unlike gases, they cannot be compressed.No. It is not dense enough.
A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.
gases can be compressed where as a solid can not. liquids can be compressed slightly, but not as much as a gas can be gases have a greater surface area, and greater kinetic energy, so a substance is more reactive as a gas rather than as a solid or liquid
Liquid and gas can flow and change shape to fit their containers, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases can also be easily compressed or expanded, which is difficult for solids to do.
Water is an example of a substance that cannot be compressed much due to its incompressibility, but it can move about freely due to its fluidity.
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.
Gases have the space between their molecules, and so can be compressed the most. Next is liquid which has more space between the molecules than a solid, but not as much space as in a gas. So, it an be compressed also, but not as much as can a gas. And finally, a solid does not have much space between molecules and thus cannot be compressed too much.
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.
True. Jelly is a kind of a Liquid as it was originated from a kind of Liquid. But, Liquids can't be compressed. The understanding of why it can be compressed is that Jelly has a particular or definite appearance and measurement. so, it is acknowledged in the Solid-state. And, Solids can be compressed if you have sufficient pressure on it.
Gas can be compressed because the particles are far apart and have enough space to move into, solid and liquids particles have no space to move into! Hope this helps!

a liquid can be compressed
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.
Liquids are cannot be compressed because the particles are close together and compact- this means that the particles cannot get closer together. Therefore liquids can't be compressed.

No. Only liquids and gases are considered fluids because they are able to be compressed. This is because their molecules are spaced out and have the ability to move closer. Ice is a solid, thus having a fixed shape and unable to be compressed.
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)
