The variables named do not account for the state of matter. Lithium a light metal, has a density of about 0.5 g cm-3. Chlorine, a gas, has a density of about 1.5 g cm-3. Mercury a liquid, has a density about 13 g cm-3.

But many liquids are very light.

Does liquid have density?

Yes. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas.


How do you know whether something will float or sink?

It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)


How does the density change from solid to liquid to gas?

The density generally decreases as a substance transitions from solid to liquid to gas. In the solid state, particles are tightly packed resulting in higher density. When the substance melts into a liquid, the particles become less ordered and the density decreases. As the liquid is further heated to form a gas, the particles are further apart, leading to the lowest density.


Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


What has a higher density solid or gas?

Solids have a higher density.


What has a higher density liquid or gas?

Solids have a higher density.


What Density that varies the most solid liquid or gas?

liquid varies the most


What are 3 properties of a gas?

RarefiedAmorphous, taking shape of the containerLower Density than solid or liquid of the same compound.Higher energy state than solid or liquid of the same material.Either the same temperature as the corresponding solid or liquid if both are present, or a higher temperature if only the gas is present.


What is the shape and particle motion and density of a liquid?

Unlike a solid, a liquid has no defined shape. It is able to take the shape of a container and flow freely. It maintains a fairly constant density. Its density is higher than a gas, but less than a solid. The particles have only temporary bindings, allowing them to travel freely.


Why does gas have a lower density than a solid?

A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.


Does a gas have a lower density than a liquid?

A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.


Which states of matter has low density high density and quite high density?

You are asking for comparatives. Each state can be any when compared to another state except the extremes. Liquid or gas either lower or higher depending on what you compare it to.
