Why are liquids less compressible than gases?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Liquid particles are closer together

The governing concept is compressibility, which depends mainly on the amount of empty space between particles. Gas particles are far apart, so applied pressure can reduce the gaps between them and noticeably decrease the gas volume. Liquid particles are already close together because intermolecular attraction keeps them in a condensed state. There is comparatively little empty space left to remove, so even considerable pressure produces only a small volume change. Therefore option A is correct. Liquids certainly contain particles and have mass, so options B and D are false. They are not always crystals; a liquid does not possess a fixed crystal lattice, making option C incorrect as well.
