Yes, there are at least two: Iodine vapor (molar mass 254) and Radon gas (222, but not natural occurring) are heavier (and so more dense) than Mercury vapor (200 g/mol).

What two gases are more dense than carbon dioxide?

There are many gases more intrinsically dense than carbon dioxide, the most common being the gaseous element chlorine, the compound sulfur dioxide, and water vapor. Many gaseous organic chemicals such as butane and propane are more dense than carbon dioxide.


Is water more dense than copper sulfate?

Copper is more dense than water itself. Water has a density of 1g/mL, so it would have to be a really small metal to not be more dense than water.

Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?

Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.


Does solid metal 'float' on molten metal?

No. The solid state of a metal is more dense than its liquid state, so it sinks.


Explain why hotter volumes of the same gas are less dense than cooler ones?

When gases r hotter their molecules are more spreadout and are moving much more rapidly making it less dense. While colder gases have molecules that are closer together and don't move as much making it more dense.


Are liquid particles spread apart?

yes. solids are more dense than liquids and the particles in gases are more spread out and faster.
