Do Gas Have Compressibility?

Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. At room temperature and standard pressure, the average distance between gas molecules is about ten times the diameter of the molecules themselves.

Does liquid have compressibility?

Liquids are non-compressible and have constant volume but can change shape.

Why the gases are compressible?

Answer: Gases are compressible because the intermolecular space is very large in gases, whereas liquids are not compressible because in liquids, the intermolecular space is less.
