  • The most compressible state is a gaseous one because the particles are loosely bound. Liquids are next, and solids are least compressible because the particles are already tightly packed.
  • As a result, gas is more compressible than liquid and solid.
  • As a result the order of compressibility is: gas > liquid > solid.
