Q: What is the primary reason for the compressibility of gases?
Solution:
Gases are highly compressible due to large intermolecular spaces between particles.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what compressibility means. It refers to how much a substance can be squeezed into a smaller volume.
Step 2: Know that gases are made up of tiny particles called molecules.
Step 3: Realize that in gases, these molecules are far apart from each other compared to liquids and solids.
Step 4: Recognize that because the molecules in gases are so far apart, there is a lot of empty space between them.
Step 5: Understand that when you apply pressure to a gas, the molecules can be pushed closer together because of this empty space.
Step 6: Conclude that the large intermolecular spaces between gas particles allow them to be easily compressed.
