Question

why cant water be easily compressed?

Answer 1

Answer:

liquids don't compress very much, even under extreme pressure. Their individual molecules are very close to each other and there isn't much space there for them to get closer (compression). As the two atoms are brought closer, the outer electrons in one tend to push away the outer electrons in the second.

Because the particles can move, liquids don't have a definite shape, and they can flow. Because the particles are still packed close together, liquids can't easily be compressed and keep the same volume.
