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.

Does all isotopic solids expand on melting?

Not all isotropic solids expand upon melting; the behavior depends on the material's bonding and structure. Most metals, for example, contract upon melting due to a reduction in the density of their liquid state compared to their solid state. However, many non-metals and certain crystalline solids may expand as they transition to a liquid state. The specific thermal behavior is influenced by the interactions between atoms or molecules in the solid and the resulting liquid.


When solids reach their melting points they become?

as usual they become 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.


Does liquids have a higher density than solids?

no


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?

Very much higher.


When liquids change states to become solids?

a solid turns into a liquid or the liquid stage when it reaches its melting point.
