water
Generally solids are denser than gas and liquids.
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Asphalt sinks in water because it is denser than water. Generally, solid materials that are denser than water will sink when placed in it.
A diamond is a solid, while water is a liquid.
rock is denser than gas because it is a solid
Solid xenon is more dense than liquid xenon. Solid xenon has a higher density because its particles are closely packed together in a solid state compared to the more spread out particles in its liquid state.
Solid silver is denser. Remember in a solid the atoms are closely packed and in a regular order. When it is a liquid the atoms are less closely packed an in an irregular order. Since liquid atoms are less closely packed, the same number of atoms occupy a larger space/volume. Since they occupy a larger volume for the same number then liquids arr less dense. Density = mass/ volume. Solid ; Using 1 gram (Silver) occupies say 0.25 cm^(3) of space Liquid ; using 1 gram(silver) occupies say 0.255 cm^(3) of space. Hence Density (Solid) =- 1/ 0.25 = 4 g/cm^(3) Density (Liquid) = 1 / 0.255 = 3.91,,, g/cm^(3) These are fictitious figures , just given to demonstrate. Also , remember when a mass gains energy it changes from solid to liquid and EXPANDS(Greater volume/space). So a block of solid silver , when placed in liquid silver will sink, because it is more dense. =
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Because molecular(atomic)distance is less in solid than liquid.

No.
Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
