Why is it difficult to compress a solid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because its particles are closely packed and have very little empty space between them

In a solid, particles are closely packed with very little empty space between them. On applying pressure, there is almost no space left to bring the particles closer, so solids are difficult to compress. Option A is more characteristic of gases, which have large spaces between their particles. Exam tip: Compressibility depends on interparticle space—the less the space, the lower the compressibility.
