Density is just one aspect to the physical properties of a liquid
if the liquid is very dense, less dense materials can float on it and denser materials will sink into it
for example, salt, a moderately dense mineral, can float on Mercury, a very dense liquid at room temperature.
Viscosity is the next aspect to liquids and probably the word you were looking for when the question was asked.
A high-viscosity liquid is very thick. Gelatin is a very Viscous liquid; Water, a not-so-viscous liquid. high-viscosity liquids slow down the movement of objects inside of them. hence why Grandma can make Fruit suspend inside of Jello.
Chemical properties are the third aspect.
if you put pure potassium inside of water, the water would react and make a fireball. (however it is ill-advised to do so unless you are experienced with chemicals
When thermal energy is added to a liquid, the molecules will move faster and further apart, causing the liquid to expand and become less dense.
Liquids with different densities in a container will layer based on their density, with the most dense liquid at the bottom and the least dense at the top. The liquids will not mix together but form distinct layers based on their respective densities.
The ball made out of frozen kerosene would likely float on the liquid kerosene since it is less dense than the liquid. When an object is less dense than a liquid, it will float on the surface.
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.
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
The least dense liquid would be found at the top.
one liquid would be more dense (bottom liquid) and one would be less dense (top liquid) as oil would go on top of water no matter what unless shaken because oil is less dense than water as water has a density of 1
That would depend on how dense the liquid is.

No, it will only float in a liquid more dense than it. Since it is more dense than water, it would sink in water, for example.
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
The matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid is called sediment. Sediment can consist of particles like dirt, sand, or other materials that are heavier than the liquid and sink to the bottom over time.
Liquid has to be a certain temperature to boil depending if it is more dense or less dense. So yes. Normally the temperature would increase.
Yes, only if the density of the liquid is lesser than the gas

When mixed, the two liquids would separate due to differential densities. Their different densities would cause the more dense liquid to sink to the bottom of the container while the less dense one would be displaced and rise to float at the top.
