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 a ice cube a liquid solid gas?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
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 happens when something changes states from a solid to liquid?
the molecules spread out and become less dense
Which cold solid is less dense than the liquid when it melts?
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
Is ice cube a solid gas or liquid?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?
Liquid magma is more dense than the solid material around it.
Is a ice cube solid or liquid?
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form

What substances are less dense when in a solid state than they are in a liquid state?
In addition to water, for which the solid form (ice) is less dense than the liquid form, the element Gallium is also less dense in the liquid state. Gallium can be solid at room temperature but will melt in the hand.confirmed as solid less dense than liquid:gallium - 5.91 (solid) vs 6.095 (liquid)bismuth - 9.78 (solid) vs 10.05 (liquid)germanium - 5.323 (solid) vs 5.60 (liquid)silicon - 2.3290 (solid) vs 2.57 (liquid)water - 0.917 (solid) vs 0.998 (liquid)claimed but probably false:acetic acid - 1.266 (solid) vs 1.049 (liquid)antimony - 6.697 (solid) vs 6.53 (liquid) (this "error" is repeated in many places, inc wikipedia)Water is not always less dense in solid form. Depending on how the water crystals are formed, it may actually be more dense. Examples include HDA and VHDA.
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.

Is ice cube gas or liquid or solid?

Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
Why is liquid silver less dense than solid silver?
Liquid silver occupies greater volume than in its solid form. Silver in liquid form is less dense because atoms are vibrating and sliding past one another.
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.
