The answer depends on the solid. The solid with the lowest known density is graphene aerogel, with a density of just 0.00016 g/cc. Osmium has the highest measured density of 22.59 g/cc (approx 141,000 times as great). Hassium has a predicted density of 41 g/cc which has not been verified. However, solids, sch as material from a neutron star will have a density of approx 10^26 g/cc.

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.


Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?

That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.


What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the gas state?

Much higher.


How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?

That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.


Which solid element has the highest density?

Osmium is the solid element that has the highest density. Opposite of osmium is hydrogen which has the lowest density.


Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


Why is the density of a substance in a gaseous state much less than its density in liquid or solid state?

Because the atoms or molecules in a gas are several orders of magnitude further apart than they are in a liquid or solid.

When a solid melts its density does not change very much. So why do a liquid and a solid have such a different physical properties?

The physical properties are not mainly based on density. The main difference between a solid and a liquid is that in a solid, the forces between atoms or molecules are strong enough to keep them in place. As a result, the solid keeps its shape. ============================ When a solid melts its density changes a lot. The density is the amount of mass a body possesses per unit volume. In solids all the matter is compacted and crushed in a particular place more than a liquid. Its density varies a lot. And density cannot only be the sole characteristic of physical properties as explained by the former contributor.
