What else can I help you with?
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.
Is gas dense?
Gas is not dense, solids should be dense, liquids are dense, but not as much as solids.
What is always less dense than solids?
Gases are less dense than solids.
Are solids dense and incompressible?
Solids are typically dense, meaning they have a high mass per unit volume. They are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases due to the strong intermolecular forces holding their particles in place.
Why are solids USUALLY more dense liquids and gases?
Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
What determains the destiny of a liquid?
In general, solids are more dense than liquids which are more dense than gases.
Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
Are liquids dense and do they have a lot of particles in a small volume?
In comparison to gases, yes; in comparison to solids, no.
What phenomenon allows objects or liquids that are less dense to float in liquids that are more dense?
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
Are liquids always less dense than solids?
Solids are more dense than liquids. This is because of their atomic or molecular configuration. Atoms or molecules in solids are more closely arranged compared to atoms or molecules in liquids.
Why gases are less dense than solids and liquids?
Basically, it concerns the particulate nature of matter. Solid/liquid has more molecules per unit of volume than gas and hence the mass of the gas is less than that of a solid/liquid when their volumes are the same. With reference to the equation D=M/V, the density of the gas is less dense than solid/liquid. Hope this helps. :)
What is the different between sedimentation and flotation?
Sedimentation is the measure of the (simple)movement of solids ,or the time (rate) of movement of undisolved material (solids) , in a column of water or other fluid ( as in sedimentation rate). Flotation is a quality of matter that is less dense than the fluid on which it is suspended . Both solids and liquids float, with liquids forming patches or layers atop the more dense sustrate.
