Answer:
Gases have more space between particles and also the forces of attraction is less. So gases are compressible. But, solids are different frm gases as the particles are very closely packed and forces of the attraction is more. So, solids are not compressible

Matter exists in three states
➡️Solid
➡️Liquid
➡️Gas
A solid is practically noncompressible , a liquid is compressible to a very little extent but a gas is compressible to a very great extent. This is because the intermolecular space is very small in a solid, larger in a liquid and the largest in a gas. As the intermolecular space increases, the molecules can be pushed together more easily.
