Yes. Glass sinks to the bottom if placed in a container of water, so it must have the higher density.

As a general rule, metal is denser. However, note that lithium has a very low density - probably less than most glasses.

Which has a greater density a metal or a liquid?

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.

No, not unless it is somehow shaped into a form that displaces less water than it's mass. Obsidian is volcanic glass, glass is much denser than water, therefore sinks.
