Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Compressibility is mostly observed in gases. A lot of space between particles, a gas can be compressed to a higher extent. Solids have the least compressibility and liquids have little compressibility because of the less space between their particles. Hence, the correct order is-Solid < Liquid < Gas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gases have maximum compressibility than solids and liquids because, in gases, the intermolecular force of attraction is very weak, almost negligible as compared to solids and liquids. The intermolecular spaces are maximum in gas as compared to solids and liquids. More items
