The density of material depends upon the inter molecular force of attraction between the molecules... some solid molecules have more inter molecular force hence they are denser than other solids...

What are some characteristic of solids?
dense, tightly packed molecules, maintains own shape and volume
Is tea for dense than water?
Tea is water with some suspended solid particles. Depending on the strength of the tea, it may be very slightly more dense than water, because of the suspended solids in the tea. No, let's put another "very" in there; "very, VERY, slightly more dense than water".
Whene does density of a material get greater?
Materials become denser as they get colder, unless, like ice, some other molecular force makes them less dense. Solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. The colder a solid is, the more dense it becomes because each molecule's energy, which helps it repel the others, is less.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
It all depends on the density of the object. If an object was less dense than water, then it will float. If an object is more dense than water, then it will sink.
Why do some things flaot while others sink?
things that are more dense sink while things that are less dense float
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink
Which is the best conductor of sound a gas a liquid or a solid?
Solids and liquids are better conductors. You can't say which of the two because some solids are more dense than some liquids and vice versa.

If a substance is viscous is it denser than a less viscous liquid?

Are liquids dense?
Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.
Is tea for dense than water?
Tea is water with some suspended solid particles. Depending on the strength of the tea, it may be very slightly more dense than water, because of the suspended solids in the tea. No, let's put another "very" in there; "very, VERY, slightly more dense than water".
Is water the only substance that increases in volume when cooled?
No, water is not the only substance that increase in volume when it changes state from liquid to solid. The element gallium is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, to name one. Generally speaking, solids are usually more dense than their liquid forms, but not always. and some other liquids also do

If something is more dense is it also more heavier or vice versa and why?
the more dense some thing is the heavyer the object is.
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
Does Greece have a sparse population or a dense population?
Depends on what region of Greece you are in. If you are in Athens, Thessaloniki, or some of the other more populated cities it becomes pretty dense. However rural Greece on the other hand is sparsely populated.
