Re: Solids and Liquids
Because solids and liquids can be called 'incompressible'. It means that their volume varies very little or not at all with change in pressure.

Re: Solids and Liquids
Solids and liquids don't count because their pressure and volume aren't affected

Re: Solids and Liquids
It is because you cannot compress a solid or liquid like you can to a gas. So therefore, the pressure and change in volume are negated since it won't make a difference.

Re: Solids and Liquids
when a solid becomes a liquid or vice versa the volume isn't really changed. When a solid or liquid becomes a gas then there is a change in volume because the gas wants to expand it has different characteristics compared to a solid or liquid.

Re: Solids and Liquids
Solids and liquids have a constant volume. Also, pressure is really only used to describe gasses.
