Question

Gases can be compressed, but liquids cannot. Which statement explains this difference?

A Each molecule in a gas is more compressible than each molecule in a liquid.

B Molecules in a gas are further apart than molecules in a liquid.

C Molecules in a gas attract each other more strongly than molecules in a liquid.

D Molecules in a gas move more slowly than molecules in a liquid.

Answer 1

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Gases can be compressed, but liquids cannot because the molecules in a gas are farther apart than molecules in a liquid. This means that they are able to be compressed due to the large pockets of space in between each molecule which makes gases more compressible.
