Of substances that are liquid at room temperature, Mercury will be the most dense, with a specific gravity of 13.5, or thirteen and one half times heavier than water. Ether is probably the least dense common liquid with a specific gravity of .73, about 25% lighter than water.

Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
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 shape and volume properties do gases and liquids and solids have?
Mass and volume
Why are gases not always visible while most liquids and solids are visible?
It's mostly to do with density. In simple terms, gases have very low densities compared to solids and liquids, so that their molecules/atoms cause very little scatting of light as it passes through them.
Has no definite shape solid liquid or gas?
Only solids have a definite shape. Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.Only solids have a definite shape.

How is density related to the states of matter?
Solids have the highest density, followed by liquids and then gases.
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
Which phase has the lowest density when comparing solids liquids and gases?
Gases
When comparing solids liquids and gases which phase generally has the greatest density?
Solids
What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?
they are compromised.
What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
Are solids better conductors than liquids and gases?
particle density
What is the normal relationship between solids liquids gases and density?
they all come from water
Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?
Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
What has the highest velocity and can move through solids liquids or gases?
Gamma Rays and/or velociraptors.
