NO. Olive oil is more viscous than Mercury (meaning it has greater resistance, is stickier, pours "thicker"). Viscosity and density are not the same. Mercury is dense (13.534 g/mL), but is not viscous (1.526 cP). Olive oil has a much higher viscosity than Mercury (81 cP), but a much lower density (~0.92 g/mL).

∙ 13y agoCooking oil is lighter than water. You can see this clearly. Take a glass of water,
pour some oil into it, and let it stand for a few minutes. The oil all rises to the top
of the water. In other words, it floats on the water, meaning that it's less dense,
or "lighter", than the water.

Why when you put water on the bottom and cooking oil on the top why doesn't the oil sink?
Cooking oil has a higher viscosity. Alcohol doesn't, thus it "floats" (more like lies) on the matter which is heavier. Also, oil isn't polar and water is therefore they don't mix
Is oil heavier than antifreeze?
No, oil is lighter than antifreeze.
Is petrolium oil heavier than water?
Oil is less dense than water.
Is water lighter than vegetable oil?
No water is heavier then oil.
Why does water weigh more than cooking oil?
It dosent, waters density is lower then cooking oil, resulting in cooking oil floating on water

Yes, it is.
Does cooking oil have a good viscosity?
Cooking oil has a semi-thick viscosity. It is thicker than water.
