Gases can be easily compressed because they have high kinetic energy and their particles are spread far apart. When pressure is applied, the particles can move closer together and occupy a smaller volume, resulting in compression.
gases because of the space between the particles
Gases are easily compressed because their particles are spread far apart and have weak intermolecular forces. When pressure is applied, the particles can be pushed closer together, reducing the volume occupied by the gas. This makes gases highly compressible compared to liquids and solids.
A gas is a state of matter that can be compressed and can flow. Gases have no definite shape or volume, allowing them to take the shape of their container and flow easily. They can be compressed to reduce their volume.
Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.
Petrol is a liquid and does not easily compress because its molecules are already close together. When pressure is applied, the molecules can't be pushed closer, so the volume remains relatively constant. Liquids like petrol have more resistance to compression compared to gases.
they take the form of their containers
No, liquids have particles that are close together but still able to move past each other. This is why liquids are not easily compressed like gases. Gases have the greatest spaces between particles and are more easily compressed.
they take the form of their containers
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
If a substance can be easily compressed on applying pressure, it is likely in a gaseous state. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be compressed easily.
because they are compressed
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
gases because of the space between the particles
Gases are easily compressed because the particles in a gas are widely spaced and have high kinetic energy, allowing them to be easily forced closer together when pressure is applied. This flexibility in particle movement is due to the weak intermolecular forces in gases compared to liquids and solids.
Liquids and solids have particles that are already in close proximity and held together by strong intermolecular forces, making compressing them difficult. In contrast, gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be compressed more easily.
