Disclaimer: Not to be confused with Compressibility factor .
A measure of resistance of a Continuum body to compression/decompression.A measure of relative change in density
or molar volume under a unit pressure variation:...
Compressibility measures resistance of Continuum body to compression/decompression and is inverse to Bulk modulus :

Compressibility depends on the thermodynamic conditions at which it is measured and as such is not a material property.

Both and are not dependent on the amount of chemical substance and defined under a clear under specific conditions of thermodynamic process and as such are the material properties and properly tabulated for the vast majority of materials.
