Well it all depends which solid and which liquid, but the same substance will be denser in solid form than liquid form, and even less dense as a gas. This is because in a solid, the particles are structured very tightly and rigidly, meaning it has a high mass to volume ratio, while in a liquid or gas, the particles have freedom to flow and move and are not so strongly attracted to each other, meaning the mass is spread over a larger volume.

∙ 12y agoIn liquids the intermoleculer forces(i.e. the kinetic energy possessed by the molecules) are weak as compared to solids and so the intermoleculer spaces are large as compared to solids.Therefore a substance in its liquid state will definitely have more volume than in its solid state with the only exception of water.(anomalous expansion of water). Therefore solids will obviously have more density than liquids as the volume of a substance is inversely proprtional to its density.

Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
How does waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water has a lower density as a solid than it does as a liquid. In the vast majority of substances are denser as solids than as liquids.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
Why does gas have a lower density than a solid?
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.
Does a gas have a lower density than a liquid?
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.
Why is ice solid weird?
You think probable to the density, lower than the density of liquid water.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)

Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water.
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or the lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
Does liquid have density?
Yes. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas.
