The molecules present in the solids are tightly packed, while liquid has loosely packed molecules. Hence while meting solids they co-exist and show up as higher density than pure liquid.

Is density of melting ice less than solid ice?

Ice, like other solids will expand with heat. It has a coefficient of expansion of 50 ppm/°C. So, the colder the ice is, the smaller, and higher density it will be. The warmer, the lower the density, with the maximum temperature (and lowest density) being at the melting/freezing point.


What causes objects to float?

in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid


If both molecular solids and network solids contain covalent bonds why do network solids have such higher melting points than molecular solids?

Network solids have a three-dimensional structure with strong covalent bonds throughout, leading to a higher melting point compared to molecular solids which have weaker intermolecular forces. In network solids, a larger amount of energy is required to break the extensive network of covalent bonds, resulting in a higher melting point.


Does liquid have medium density?

Yes, liquids have a relatively high density compared to gases but lower density compared to solids. The density of a liquid depends on its mass and volume, with most liquids exhibiting moderate density values typically between the densities of gases and solids.


Solids are usually denser than?

liquids because the particles in a solid are more tightly packed together, leading to higher density. In a liquid, the particles are more spread out and have more freedom of movement, resulting in lower density.


How do the melting points of ionic solids generally compared with those of molecular solids?
