Q
Can solids be compressed?
A
No - not enough space between particles for it too be compressed. Also, particles already touching and are close enough.
9
Q
Can liquids be compressed?
A
No - not enough space between particles for it too be compressed
10
Q
Can gases be compressed?
A
Yes - a lot of space between particles
11
Q
Can solids change shape?
A
No - fixed shape because of rigid structure/particles are too close
12
Q
