Why gases are more compressible as compared to solids ?
prateek985:
due to the more intermolecular space between the molecules of gas as compared to that of solid molecules as well as due to more less intermolecular force of attraction in gas as compared to that of solid

There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.
