It is because gas is actually not very dense the particles are relavily far apart allowing it to be compressed

Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
Which state of matter is highly compressible?
Gases. Also, there are really four states; Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.
How do the molecules of a gas compare to molecules of a liquid?
The size of a gas particle is negligible as compares to the volume of the container in which the gas is placed. Gases are mostly empty space, and this is evident because gases can be easily compressed.
Can a gas be compressed?
Gases can be compressed,this is because they have small particles and can fit into smaller spaces, for example:they can be squeezed into aerol cans
Can nitrogen be compressed?
Yes, very easily.
Why can gases be compressed easily?
they take the form of their containers
Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
Why gases can be compressed very easily?
they take the form of their containers
Are easily compressed because their particles are spread far apart?
Gases.
What can be compressed or squashed easily?
gases because of the space between the particles
Why carbon dioxide can be compressed more than milk?
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
Do gases keep the same volume?
Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.
Why the petrol cannot be compressed?
Liquids in general have very little space between molecules. Gases have lots of space, and therefore can be easily compressed, but liquids don't.
What is the scientific reason for gases can be compressed very easily but solid and liquids are imcompressible?
Because the intramolecular forces of solids and liquids already provide an amount of force compressing the atoms to a point that they are no longer as easily compressed.
What would be the three main groups of compressed gases?
The three main groups of compressed gases are Dissolved, Liquified and Non-Liquified gases. You can learn more about gases and compressed gases at the Wikipedia website.
Can xenon be compressed?
All gases can be compressed.
Is The mercury venus and the earth mainly formed of metal or compressed gases?
compressed gases
