What is the compressibility of solids?

• Solids are highly compressible.

• Solids are slightly compressible.

• Solids are nearly incompressible.

• Solids are very compressible.

What is surface tension in liquids responsible for?

• Making liquids incompressible.

• Allowing liquids to flow.

• Forming droplets.

• Making liquids take the shape of their container.

Why are gases highly compressible?

• Because they have a definite shape.

• Because they have large spaces between particles.

• Because they have a definite volume.

• Because they have no surface tension.

How do gas particles move?
