NO
It's less dense
Vegetable oil floats on water because it is less dense than water. Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Since the mass of vegetable oil is less than the same volume of water, it displaces less water and floats on top.
yes
volume increases faster than the surface area.
No, cold water weighs more (for a given volume) than hot water. This is why there is a thermocline in bodies of water. But when water freezes, the solid form weighs even less (for a given volume), this is why ice floats.
Yes, hot water is less dense than cold water. This occurs because as the particles move faster when the water is heated, they begin to spread further apart. As a result, there is more space in between the particles, resulting in less density.
NO
molecules are less agitated and therefore more densely packed together
No, because density is defined as mass divided by volume. Neither of which are significantly effected by temperature.
True... warm water is less dense than cold water.
It's less dense
But of course the vapour of the water have the volume. but it is a less than the water itself goodbye.
Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.

Hot water is less denser than cold water and has a greater temperature.
