Question

Why gases are more compressible as compared to solids ?​

Answer 1

$\mathsf\blue{Good Morning\:}$

Gases are more compressible than solids or liquids because molecules are set free in gases but in solids molecules are fixed in rigid position.

Answer 2

Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... 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.
