Question

Gases are highly compressible.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Gases: Gas is a state of matter which has only definite mass but no definite shape and volume. It takes up the shape of the container

e.g. — Carbon dioxide, Oxygen, etc.

Gases are highly compressible because they are less dense than other states of matter.

The intermolecular space between the gas particles is very large as compared to the intermolecular space between the liquid particles. Hence, gases are more compressible.

Thus, the given statement is True. I.e., Gases are highly compressible.
