ViviGases are easily compressed because the particles in a gas are widely spaced and have high kinetic energy, allowing them to be easily forced closer together when pressure is applied. This flexibility in particle movement is due to the weak intermolecular forces in gases compared to liquids and solids.

Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Liquids and solids have particles that are already in close proximity and held together by strong intermolecular forces, making compressing them difficult. In contrast, gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be compressed more easily.
An inflated balloon colapses when pricked with the pin which property of gases is shown by this?
This demonstrates the compressibility property of gases, where gases can be easily compressed or squeezed into a smaller volume. When the balloon is pricked, the gas inside is quickly compressed and the balloon collapses.
Is compressibility a physical property of matter?
Yes, compressibility is a physical property of matter that describes how easily a substance can be compressed or its volume reduced. It is often used to characterize the behavior of gases and liquids under pressure. Materials with high compressibility can be easily compressed, while those with low compressibility are difficult to compress.
Which state of matter is highly compressible?
Gases. Also, there are really four states; Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.
Which of the following is not a physical property of a liquid indefinite volume indefinite shape not easily compressed definite mass?
Indefinite shape is not a physical property of a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container, but they have a definite volume and are not easily compressed.
