All the noble gases have solid forms that are denser than their liquid forms, so no, the liquid form is not denser than the solid form of Xe.

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.

Does solid argon or liquid argon have a greater density?

Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase


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.


What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?

The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.


Are properties of water more dense as a solid than a liquid?

Water is less dense as a solid. To understand this just think a constant volume of water. Freezing water causes the volume to expand and the ice solid floats on the liquid water. Therefore ice is LESS dense than liquid water.

Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?

Certainly. Think about something solid such as a stone, will that sink or float in a liquid like water it will sink so it is more dense

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.


Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?

No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.


How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?

Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.


Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?

Solid. Because it's more dense.


How is the depth an object sinks in a liquid related to the ration of the density of solid to liquid?

An object sinks if it is more dense than the liquid it displaces. So the deeper it sinks, the more dense it is than the liquid it is submerged in.


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 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 the solid outer core more dense than the liquid inner core?

This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
