In general yes,

but under conditions of great pressure (say on Jupiter) you might find ... say hydrogen ... at great density.

What determains the destiny of a liquid?

In general, solids are more dense than liquids which are more dense than gases.


What is always less dense than solids?

Gases are less dense than solids.


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.


Are liquid particles spread apart?

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


Why do solids have the highest density and gases have a lower density?

Solids tend to have a higher density because the molecules are arranged closer together where as in gases the molecules are further apart. Since density is Mass/Volume, and solids have more mass per volume than gases it is more dense


Are solids Less dense than liquids?

some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink


Do liquids have high or low density?

Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.


Which has more particles solids or gases?

If we consider a particular amount of space , We get the solids more in number than the gases because the solids are more closely packed


Do solids expand to a much greater extent than gases when heated?

No, gases expand more than solids when heated.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


Are liquids dense?

Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.


What has the highest density solids liquids or gases?

Of substances that are liquid at room temperature, mercury will be the most dense, with a specific gravity of 13.5, or thirteen and one half times heavier than water. Ether is probably the least dense common liquid with a specific gravity of .73, about 25% lighter than water.
