Question

Liquids and gases are highly compressible.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Gases get compressed easily as compared to solids and liquids when pressure is applied. Hence, gases are easily compressible but not liquids.

Properties of liquids are:

1) It can take the shape of the container in which it is filled.

2) It has a fixed mass and volume.

3) They have only one free surface.

4) They can flow from a higher level to a lower level. Liquids can not be compressed or are very less compressible.

So, the above statement is false.
