Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Paul Wyman
Liquids have lower density than solids because their particles are less closely packed together. In solids, particles are tightly packed and organized in a regular pattern, which gives them a higher density. In liquids, the particles are closer together than in gases, but they are still able to move around, resulting in a lower density compared to solids.

Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.
What is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.
How does waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water has a lower density as a solid than it does as a liquid. In the vast majority of substances are denser as solids than as liquids.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.

What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water.
Why gases are easier to compress than solids or liquids are?
Because they won't resist as much because in one volume of,gas there are less molecules per unit volume than in the same volume of a liquid or solid. There are less molecules in a gas to push back.
Do gas have higher or lower densitie than a solid or a liquid?
Gases have lower densties than liquids or solids.
Why liquids have lower density than solids?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Is the density of gas lower or higher than solids and liquids?
No, the density of gas is lower because the the force of attraction is minimum at gaseous state.
Why does gas have a lower density than a solid?
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.
Why is ice solid weird?
You think probable to the density, lower than the density of liquid water.
Why do non soluble solid float nor sink in water?
A solid float on water if the density is lower than the density of water.
Does a gas have a lower density than a liquid?
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.
