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.

How do you know whether something will float or sink?

It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)


Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


Why is the density of a gas lower than the density of a liquid?

atoms in a gas are farther apart than atoms in a liquid


How would the density of carbon dioxide gas compare with the density of dry ice?

As a solid (dry ice) the density is around 1.56 kg/litre, or 1560 g/litre. The density at 0'C in its gas form is around 1.98 g/litre. So the density of CO2 in gas from is around 800 times less dense.


Does gas have lower density than iquids?

YES


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.


What state of matter has the least density?

Gas has the least density among the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Gas particles are more spread out compared to solids and liquids, leading to lower density.


Does liquid have density?

Yes. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas.


Why heated gas become lighter?

because..................................................................................................................... density of heated gas is lower than cooled gas.


Why is the density of a substance in a gaseous state much less than its density in liquid or solid state?

In the gaseous state, the particles are further apart and have higher kinetic energy, leading to a lower density compared to when the substance is in a liquid or solid state, where the particles are closer together. This is because gas particles have more freedom to move and fill the space available, resulting in a lower mass per unit volume.


Is ice less dense than air?

If it were, it would float in air. Does it float in air? There's your answer.
