Why are gases are compressible but not liquids |
|
Answer» Answer: There is no space between the individual PARTICLES, so they cannot pack together. The kinetic-molecular theory EXPLAINS why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a GAS is composed of the large AMOUNTS of EMPTY space between the gas particles. |
