What is the primary reason gases are more compressible than liquids?
Gases have weaker intermolecular forces and larger intermolecular spaces compared to liquids, allowing them to compress significantly under pressure, while liquids’ strong forces resist volume changes. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Weaker intermolecular forces. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
