Question

1. Three states of matter exist - solid, liquid, and gas. Each has its own
unique set of physical properties. Which of the following is highly
compressible?
A. Gas
B. Liquid
C. Matter
D. Solid​

Answer 1

Three states of matter exist – solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

• Gas is u r AnsWer

Answer 2

Gases are highly compressible. This is due to the huge spaces between their molecules. As a result, compressing the gas is a convenient process.

Explanation:

• Compressibility refers to how much a particular volume of a substance shrinks when subjected to pressure.
• When pressure is applied to solid or liquid, there’s not much change in the volume.
• The molecules in solid and liquid are packed together tightly . The molecules lack space between them and are not compressible.

• Gases are more compressible than liquids or solids, according to the kinetic-molecular hypothesis as the intermolecular force of attraction is less, and the distance between molecules is more.
