Can a liquid be comprassed easily?

Liquids are not easy to compress because the molecules are relatively close to each other, even though they have enough room to slide. SOlids are even more difficult.

Gases are easy to compress because the molecules are far apart from each other.

depends on the liquid... but in most cases no... that's why hydraulic systems work.

Liquids are considered to be incompressible.
