why are solids incompressible ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why solids are incompressible, we can break down the explanation into a series of logical steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Molecular Arrangement**: In solids, the molecules are arranged very closely together. This compact arrangement means that there is very little space between the molecules. **Hint**: Think about how tightly packed the molecules are in a solid compared to liquids and gases. ...
