Question

rank the states of matter from most compressible to least
□ solid, liquid, gas
□ gas, liquid, solid
□ liqud, gas, solid
rewatch

Explanation:

To determine the compressibility of states of matter, we analyze the particle arrangement:

• Gases: Particles are far apart with large empty spaces, so they are highly compressible.
• Liquids: Particles are closer than in gases but still have some space, so they are less compressible than gases.
• Solids: Particles are tightly packed with minimal space, so they are the least compressible.

Thus, the order from most to least compressible is gas, liquid, solid.

Answer:

B. gas, liquid, solid
