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.


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".


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


How is pressure affected when a gas is compressed?

When a gas is compressed, its volume decreases while the number of gas molecules remains the same. This leads to the gas particles being more concentrated in a smaller space, resulting in an increase in pressure according to the ideal gas law, which states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume.


Why are gas can be compressed into smaller volume but solid cannot?

Gases have much more space between particles compared to solids, which allows them to compress into a smaller volume. In solids, particles are packed tightly together in a fixed arrangement, limiting their ability to be compressed further.


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 can oxygen gas in a syringe be compressed to a smaller volume?

Oxygen gas in a syringe can be compressed to a smaller volume because gases are highly compressible compared to liquids and solids. When the volume of the syringe is reduced, the gas molecules are forced closer together, leading to an increase in pressure and a decrease in volume.


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 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 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.


Why is it possible to compress a gas?

Gas molecules are far apart and have high kinetic energy, allowing them to be compressed into a smaller volume.


Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?

Butane gas is compressible. It can be compressed into a smaller volume at higher pressures.
