Is water less dense when it is a solid?

yes


Is solid ice more dense than water?

No. It is less dense.


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.


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.


How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?

To determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water, you compare their densities. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. If the solid object has a density greater than 1 g/cm^3, it is more dense than water and will sink. If its density is less than 1 g/cm^3, it is less dense than water and will float.

Is this true or false water is more dense in its solid form than it is in its liquid phase?

Technically it's neither true nor false without additional information (we would need to know the temperature and pressure). However, for "ordinary" conditions that you might find on or near the surface of the Earth, ice (solid water) is less dense than water (liquid water).


What is an example of a solid that Is less dense than a liquid?

Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.


How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?

You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
