Questions and Answers

Why are liquids and solids considered nearly incompressible?

  • Because they have very little empty space between molecules (correct)
  • Because they have a high vapor pressure
  • Because their molecules are very small
  • Because they are easily compressed by applying pressure

What makes it difficult to compress liquids and solids?

  • Large size of the molecules
  • High vapor pressure
  • Lack of empty space between molecules (correct)
  • Low density of the molecules

Which property contributes to the nearly incompressible nature of liquids and solids?

  • Large size of molecules
  • Low density of molecules
  • High vapor pressure
  • Limited empty space between molecules (correct)
