Question

1. which state of matter is easily compressible?

gas, because the particles are very far apart from each other.
solid, because the particles are very far apart from each other.
gas, because the particles are packed closely together.
solid, because the particles are packed closely together.

Explanation:

To determine the easily compressible state of matter, we analyze particle arrangements:

• Solids have particles packed closely, so they're not easily compressible. Eliminate options with "Solid".
• Gases have particles far apart, allowing compression (since there's space between them). The option stating "Gas, because the particles are very far apart from each other" matches this. Other gas - related option has incorrect reasoning (particles aren't packed closely).

Answer:

A. Gas, because the particles are very far apart from each other.
