It is not possible to compress water in the same way as air because water is an incompressible liquid. When you try to compress water in a syringe, you will not be able to decrease its volume significantly. This is in contrast to air, which is a compressible gas that can be easily compressed in a syringe.
The major difference between using air and water in a syringe is that when you push the plunger of a syringe filled with air, the air will compress and decrease in volume, whereas when you push the plunger of a syringe filled with water, the water will not compress and maintain its volume. This is because the molecules in a liquid, such as water, are closely packed together and cannot be compressed like the molecules in a gas, such as air.
do u think you can compress the water just like you compressed the air?Try it describe the difference you notice between using air in the syringe , and water in the syringe.
