Gases are easiest to compress, solids most difficult | Compressibility | Chemistry

This demonstration uses some common objects to illustrate a simple, but important point. Squeezing a piece of chalk or block of wood does not alter its size or shape appreciably. Compressing water in a syringe reduces its volume very little, but enough to get visual confirmation. However air in a syringe compresses significantly more than water. Gas, liquid and solid are compressible in increasing order of difficulty, with gases being the easiest to compress and solids being the most difficult. This is because the intermolecular distance between gas molecules is large, creating small intermolecular forces while intermolecular distance between solids is small, creating large intermolecular forces.

thank you for demonstrating about compressibility
It serve as information about our lesson in science

that unsolved Rubik's cube bothered me

[charunyakakarla]

This was very helpful for my chemistry exam thank-you

[dankaness]

Thank you so much, it finally makes sense to me:).

[sleepy_ishungry]

my science teacher forced me to watch this TwT

[mkvshastry]

your explanation made me to understanding very easy

[icuppu]

Very good video. Thank you. What would be the pressure in pascals where the high and low temperatures for the Z to equal 1 for CO2 be? And what would it be for air?

Does compressing the water a little heat it up turning some of it into vapor?

[anu]

how many mL syringe you're using pls tell

[vijayvijju]

But solid material can be compressed by hydraulic press machine

i am studying for my finals exam in science

[tkour]

i am not science student plz give me this ans all soild and gases aree

[tharindimaraweera]

Who here has to watch this cuz ur science teacher forced u

[angoguy]

Water has the lowest intermolecular distance! Lower than that of a solid

[CIBERXGAMING]

What would happen if I took a 10000lbs hydraulic press and forced the water to compress?

[narf]

if you can compress it then it can be compressed, else its not ? if somebody ask you if metal can be melted or not, are u going to use a lighter than say no ?

POV: Your science teacher made you watch this video in class. ;)
