Question
Why are gases highly compressible whereas solid incompressible
Open in App
Solution
Gas molecules have negligible molecular energy and very high thermal energy because of which there is lots of space present between the molecules of gas and hence these are highly compressible.
While liquid and solids dont have this much of space between their molecules.
