There are two reasons why gold is more dense than water. First, the individual atoms of gold are tremendously heavier than the two types of atoms (hydrogen and oxygen) which make up the water molecule. Secondly, the metallic bond that makes gold into a solid substance is stronger than the bonds that hold water together as a liquid, and a stronger bond holds atoms together more closely, and hence more densely.

How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Bubbles rise in water because they a. are so tiny b. less dense than water c. more dense than water d. fluids?
less dense than the liquid they are in. Water is more dense than air, therefore water is below air. This explains why the oceans aren't in the sky.
Is the Earth more dense than the water?
BAA. Yes, the Earth's density (compared to water) is around 5.5 times more dense than water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Does pure gold float?
No, not in water. Gold is very dense. However, if you found a liquid that is more dense than gold, at a temperature that would not melt the gold, then the gold would indeed float in it.
Is gold less dense than aluminium?
No, gold is much more dense that aluminum.
What is more dense lead mercury gold water?
Between lead, mercury, gold, and water, mercury is more dense than all the rest. It is type of metal which is most commonly seen and used in its liquid format.
Is oil more dense than water?
no, oil is not more dense than water
How much more dense is water than water?
Water is 784 times more dense than water.
Is zinc less or more dense than water?
zinc is more dense than water
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
Is a magnet more dense than water?
a magnet is more dense then water
Which is more dense lead or water?
Lead is more dense than water.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
more dense
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
