What is less dense?
a solid that sinks in water
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.
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.
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 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.

How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
put it in water see if it sinks
What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
Less dense than water?
Air, oil, ice. One of the few substances that its solid form is less dense
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 whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
