Iron in solid form is more dense because the particles are rigid and connected in a structured shape.
Iron as a liquid is less dense because the particles are not rigid/not connected and flow.

Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense
How do waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
Is iron at room temperature solid liquid or gas?
Iron can be a solid, liquid, or gas because it is an element and elements can become all the forms of matter
Compare the density of iron in the solid liquid and gaseous states?
If you compare the densities of a solid, liquid, and gaseous states of a substance you will find that the solid is the most dense, the liquid is a medium density, and the gas is the least dense.
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?
Liquid magma is more dense than the solid material around it.
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.

Does solid argon or liquid argon have a greater density?
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
What happens when you put a less dense soild and a more dense liquid together?
solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?
Solid. Because it's more dense.
How is the depth an object sinks in a liquid related to the ration of the density of solid to liquid?
An object sinks if it is more dense than the liquid it displaces. So the deeper it sinks, the more dense it is than the liquid it is submerged in.
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.
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.
Is the solid outer core more dense than the liquid inner core?
This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
