Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following states of matter can be compressed the most?
  • Step 1: Understand the states of matter. There are three main states: solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Step 2: Know that solids have tightly packed particles, which makes them hard to compress.
  • Step 3: Realize that liquids have particles that are close together but can still move around, so they can be compressed a little.
  • Step 4: Learn that gases have particles that are far apart with lots of space between them.
  • Step 5: Since gases have the most space between their particles, they can be compressed the most when pressure is applied.
