Water has higher density than ice.
That is why ice floats on water.

What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
What happens to a substance during changing between a solid to a liquid?
When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid and vice versa, its density changes.
Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
Does a solid have the greatest density?
For a given material, while the material itself has the same density, a solid OBJECT of EQUAL VOLUME has greater density than if light weighted. For example a one inch diameter solid ball has greater density than a one inch diameter hollow ball.
Does solid argon or liquid argon have a greater density?
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.
Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?
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.
What does density vary between solid liquid or gas?
as density is equal to mass per unit volume. for any substance, volume does not remain same in its three(solid, liquid and gas) state. so density vary when volume changes for different states of a substance
Which has greater density liquid water or frozen water?
Solid water has greater density than liquid water in general, assuming there is not much dissolved oxygen to cause voids. A solid will always be more dense than a liquid, if it freezes in a manner that does not allow for voids.
Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.
