Question

Which statement about states of matter is most correct? All states of matter have particles that are tightly packed and vibrate with little motion. Only liquids and gases have little space between particles and are therefore not easily compressible. Solids and gases both assume the shape of the container that they are placed in. Gases are the only compressible state of matter.

Answer 1

Gases are the only compressible state of matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

"This is because the inter particle spaces present. In gases the interparticle space is very large and hence they are compressible, but in case of solids and liquids particles are close to each other and hence cannot be compressed."
