Solids are more dense than both liquids and gases. This is because their molecules are packed much more tightly together and are held in place and unable to move freely. This means that per unit volume there are molecules in a sold than in a gas or liquid therefore making the solid more dense.
The person who answered before me forgot something, there are exceptions

Are most materials more or less dense in their solid state than in liquid?
More dense. As a solid is formed the particles vibrate less and group closer together. One of the only exceptions to this is water. When water freezes and becomes a solid it becomes less dense which is why ice will float in your drink.
Is magma more dense then rock?
No. Magma varies in density, but it will be less dense than a solid rock of the same composition.
Which have higher volume solid or liquid?
A solid. When you look at the compounds of a solid, its atoms are closely packed together, cause it be more dense and have more volume. Liquids atoms are loose and free floating to do as they please, causing liquid to be have a less dense volume. Hope this helps~ Off Spring.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
How do the densities of solid liquids and gases compare?
The solid state is usually the most dense (except water), followed by the liquid state, which is less dense than the solid, followed by the gas state, which is the least dense.
What is more dense?
a solid is more dense
Is solid ice more dense than water?
No. It is less dense.
Does a solid get more dense if its volume increases?
No. It gets less dense

Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?
Liquid magma is more dense than the solid material around it.
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
How can you determine whether a solid substance is more dense or less dense than water?
see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
