Question

Explain the different compressibility of Solid , Liquid and gas class 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

A substance is Compressible only if there is enough space between particles of the substance.

In solids, the particles are tightly packed and hence there is very little empty space inside the substance. Therefore, solids are very difficult to be compressed.

In liquids, there is some space between the particles and is Compressible, but it requires a high amount of pressure to compress them.

In gases, there is a large space between the particles and hence is highly Compressible

Answer 2

Answer:

Compressibility is the measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure. If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together.
