The question is deeply flawed.
Many metals are denser than many liquids, but many liquids are denser than some metals (and then, of course, there's Mercury, which is both a metal and a liquid at room temperature).
If all you know about two substances is that one is a liquid and one is a metal and you're forced to bet your life on which is denser ... your odds are probably SLIGHTLY better betting on the metal.

Which metal has a high density and is a liquid at room temperature?
Mercury
Which density is more water or chloroform?
chloroform has the greater density.Chloroform is a colorless liquid too.
What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?
Solid silver has a greater density than liquid silver which means that solid silver would sink.
If the numerator is bigger than the denominator of your density problem will the object float or sink in water?
If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.
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.
What will happen if an object's density is greater then a liquid's density?
If you place the object into the liquid it will sink.
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of objects placed in the liquid?
Yea
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 object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?
an object will float on a denser liquid
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than what?
If a liquid is poured into water and falls to the bottom the density must be greater than 1.
How come a nail sinks and a metal ship floats?
An object will sink if its density is greater than that of water (or another liquid in which it is placed). If its density is less, it will float. In the case of the ship, the air in the ship helps reduce the total density.
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
What will happen if the density of an object placed in a liquid if the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object?
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
What is the relationship between mass and density when the volume of each liquid is the same?
For two liquids of the same volume, the liquid with a higher density will have greater mass. Similarly, the liquid with a greater mass has a higher density. This is only true for samples of equal volume, however.
Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
Is buoyancy and density the same?
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
