How many states of matter can be compressed?
One. It is gas as gas does not have a definite shape or volume thus it can be compressed. Liquids do not have a definite shape but it has a definite volume, making it unable to compress. Solids have both a definite shape and volume thus it also cannot be compressed.
What is characteristics of solid matter?
It has a definite volume and shape and cannot be compressed. More information: There are three types of matter, gas, liquid and solid. Gas matter have no definite volume, no definite shape and can be compressed. Liquid matter has a definite volume, no definite shape and cannot be compressed. Solid matter has a definite volume, a definite shape and cannot be compressed. This is in the 'Cycles' Science subject, learnt normally at Primary/Grade 3/4 in Primary/Elementary schools. Detailed information: Gas: Gas particles are very far apart from each other, mainly the reason why they can move freely everywhere. Liquid: Liquid particles are next to each other, they slide past each other, however, they cannot move freely, unlike gas particles. Solid: Solid particles are the most arranged particles of all. They can only shake a little in their current position, and cannot move around at all. I hope this information will be helpful to you!!!:) P.S. I am just a primary 5 student, eleven years old studying in a Singapore top primary school. My answer may not be very accurate, but all the same I hope it will help you/your child in his/her studies.
The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?
The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.
Do the particles of a gas get closer together or farther apart as the pressure on the gas increase?
Closer together. Your question is oddly phrased, but ends up in the same place. You might mean to ask, "Are the atoms or molecules of a gas closer to each other or farther apart if the gas is at higher pressure?" Or perhaps you are asking if the atoms or molecules in a compressed gas ("as the pressure on the gas increase (sic)") are closer or farther apart. It doesn't matter, really, because the atoms or molecules in a gas that is at increased pressure are closer together than if they were at lower pressure. Air is at lower pressure at high altitudes than at sea level. The molecules of nitrogen and oxygen are farther apart, which is why it's difficult to breathe while near the summit of a mountain.The answer depends on whether the increased pressure is due to reduced volume or increased temperature.When a gas is compressed, the particles are forced closer together. The temperature also rises.To increase the pressure in a volume of gas, you can do either of two things:Decrease the volume. The same number of gas particles have to share a smaller space, so they must be closer together. Pressure (and temperature) rises.Increase the temperature. The particles move faster and try to get further apart. Since the volume is unchanged, the pressure rises. The distance between the particles is unchanged.

Can the volume of gas change?
yes...... because gas particles are far apart (this is wy it is gas and not liquid or solid) it can be compressed into a smaller space. (to a certain point)yesYes
Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?
In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.
Why does gas have no specific volume?
gas has no specific volume because the molecules can be compressed or expanded, which would change the volume. like there is a smaller volume of gas in a can of soda then in the atmesphere around you.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
Why can a gas be put into a container which has a smaller or larger volume than the gas?
Because the gas hasn't not a form and can be compressed or expanded.
Why does density increase when a gas is compressed?
There will be the same amount of gas but in a smaller space. Density is mass/volume So as volume decreases and mass is constant, the density increases.
What happens to the particles in carbon dioxide gas when they are compressed into a fire extinguisher?
It gets very cold to the point that it could cause frostbite if you don't hold it where you're supposed to.
How do the molecules of a gas compare to molecules of a liquid?
The size of a gas particle is negligible as compares to the volume of the container in which the gas is placed. Gases are mostly empty space, and this is evident because gases can be easily compressed.
Why are gas can be compressed into smaller volume but solid cannot?
The atoms in air are farther apart than the atoms in a solid.
Can a gas be compressed?
Gases can be compressed,this is because they have small particles and can fit into smaller spaces, for example:they can be squeezed into aerol cans
Why a gas completely fills any container you it in?
since gas has no definite volume or shape it can be expanded or compressed, the particles will spread till they reach the walls of their container
Why gas has no definite shape and volume?
Gas particles are apart from each other, thus is has no fixed positions. As it has no fixed positions, it has no definite shape. Gas particles are also moving in distances away from each other, thus gases may be compressed, giving in an indefinite volume.
