Compressibility is high in case of ___________(a) solids(b) liquids(c) gases(d) both solids and liquids have the same amount of compressibilityI got this question in an international level competition.The doubt is from States of Matter topic in chapter States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) gases

To explain: Compressibility is high in the CASE of gases because thermal energy is predominant in gases. This energy enables the MOLECULES of gases to MOVE away from each other so that when compressed together they COMPRESS easily by reducing the distance between each other comparatively.
