Question

Which of the following states of matter is highly compressible?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gases

Gases are highly compressible. This is because of the weak intermolecular forces of attraction between the gas molecules. Also, there is a lot of empty space present between the gas molecules which make them highly compressible.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Gas

Explanation:

Gases are highly compressible because their molecules are far apart from each other. There are a lot of empty spaces between the molecules. They can be easily compressed to a point where the intermolecular distance becomes minimum. this compressibility is lesser for liquids and least for solids.
