Compressibility varies among different states of matter due to the arrangement and movement of their particles. Gases are highly compressible because their particles are far apart and move freely, allowing significant volume reduction under pressure. Liquids are less compressible as their particles are closer together, restricting movement and making it harder to reduce their volume. Solids are the least compressible, with tightly packed particles that resist changes in volume when subjected to pressure.
