Question

Gases can be easily compressed

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Gases are the substance that neither have a shape nor volume
• The molecules are loosely packed hence they are freely moving in all the direction
• In gaseous substance, Gas molecules are loosely packed and freely move in all directions
• The intermolecular spaces between them are very large, they can move in all directions hence they can easily be compressed than solid and liquid
• Due to large intermolecular spaces the molecules can easily be compressed.
• In solid substance, the molecules are closely packed hence they cannot move freely
• Solids have a definite shape, they are rigid and incompressible.
• Liquid substance, liquid substances are less tightly packed, and hence they can move
• Liquid can flow and can be compressed to a small extent

Therefore the given statement is true. i.e., gases can be easily compressed
