Silver is more dense because silver is around 10.5g/cc, an iron around 7g/cc. silver atomic number 47, where as iron is 26. This means the nucleus will be much heavier, but also take up more space.

Liquid silver occupies greater volume than in its solid form. Silver in liquid form is less dense because atoms are vibrating and sliding past one another.

Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
Will things that are less dense sink?
Less dense. a simple example will explain why; imagine a boat , it's howl is a metal frame about one inch thick with metal , and the deck. between the top deck and the bottom bowl are huge spacer's with air. this is less dense and the boat floats. Now imagine the howl filled with just metal to the deck, a solid object, more dense. What happens?..Boat sinks.
