No, the density of gas is lower because the the force of attraction is minimum at gaseous state.

Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)

What are some characteristics of liqiuds?
Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. They have higher density compared to gases but lower density than solids. Liquids are not easily compressed and exhibit surface tension.
Which liquid settles down ina mixture of liquids the higher density or lower density?
The liquid of higher density will settle to the bottom.
Do gas have higher or lower densitie than a solid or a liquid?
Gases have lower densties than liquids or solids.
What causes certain liquids to float above others?
the density of each of the fats. the higher density, the lower it will be in a mixture
Does hydrogen have a low density?
Yes, hydrogen can be considered to have a low density. In fact, it is the least dense of all the elements.
Why do solids have the highest density and gases have a lower density?
Solids tend to have a higher density because the molecules are arranged closer together where as in gases the molecules are further apart. Since density is Mass/Volume, and solids have more mass per volume than gases it is more dense
Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?
Because they won't resist as much because in one volume of,gas there are less molecules per unit volume than in the same volume of a liquid or solid. There are less molecules in a gas to push back.
Is temperature a factor in determining density?
In the case of gases yes. For a gas, the density is directly proportional to the pressure and inversely proportional to the temperature (absolute ie Kelvin). In other words the higher the temperature the lower the density. This is because gases expand with temperature. Liquids and solids do expand but only slightly so there is not much change in density for these.
What happens if you mix together liquids that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.
How can you look at liquids and determine if they have a high or low density when added together?
Higher dense liquids sink to the bottom. Liquid with lower densities go on top.
