because of density
in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
3 liquids- oil, water, and cleaning stuff can float on top of each other 3 solids- foil, paper, rocks
On some liquids it will float, on others it will not.
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
solids and liquids
Both liquids and Solids have definite volumes
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes.
mixtures can be formed by physically putting two or more substances together. Mixtures can be formed between solids and liquids, solids and solids, liquids and liquids, solids and gas, liquids and gas, gas and gas
Generally, solids do not float on their own liquids; they typically sink if they are denser than the liquid. However, ice is an exception because it is less dense than water due to its crystalline structure, which creates more space between molecules. This lower density allows ice to float on liquid water, a unique property that has significant ecological implications for aquatic life.
liquids
To observe whether different solids float in a given liquid, you would use a clear container filled with the liquid, such as a graduated cylinder or a beaker. This allows you to see the solids' buoyancy and whether they sink or float. Additionally, a set of various solids to test, such as small weights or pieces of wood, should be used for comparison. It's important to ensure the liquids and solids are safe for the experiment.
