Why is it relatively easy to compress a gas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because there is a large empty space between gas particles

Gas particles are far apart, so there is a large amount of empty space between them. When pressure is applied, this empty space is reduced and the particles come closer; the actual size of the particles does not normally decrease. In solids and liquids, particles are much closer together, so they are less compressible than gases. Exam tip: Link the high compressibility of gases with the large intermolecular spaces between their particles.
