Why can a solid not be easily compressed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Its particles are very close

The governing concept is the arrangement of particles in different states of matter. In a solid, particles are held closely together by strong attractive forces and occupy nearly fixed positions. Only a very small amount of empty space exists between them, so ordinary pressure cannot reduce the volume appreciably. Therefore, option B is correct: closely packed particles leave little room to move closer. Option A is the opposite of the actual arrangement in a solid and would describe a gas more closely. Option C is false because solids may be hot, cold, or at room temperature. Option D concerns light emission, which has no connection with compressibility. The important link is close packing plus strong attraction.
