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

liquid varies the most
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.
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.
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.

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.
