Which state of matter is incompressible?

Solution

States of matter:

The matter can be classified into different states, such as:

Solid-state -

  1. The volume and form of a solid are fixed. Solid particles can only vibrate about their mean location and cannot be approved to move to their hard structure.
  2. Components in solids are densely or closely packed. Because the spaces between the particles are so small, compressing them is difficult.

Liquid state -

  1. Particles in a liquid state of matter have become less closely packed than those in a solid state.
  2. Liquids manifest in the form of the containers or vessels in which they are stored.

Gas state -

  1. Particles in gases are widely apart from one another.
  2. The particles' interaction is minimal, and they can travel freely.

Therefore, the solid-state of the matter is incompressible.
