Steel is more dense than water because it is made mostly of iron, and iron is much denser than water. The density of iron is 7.874g/cm3, while water's density is 1g/cm3.

Is ice or water less dence?

Ice is less dense than water. When water freezes into ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a pattern that makes ice less compact, causing it to take up more space and be less dense than liquid water.

Is cork more dense than steel?

No, steel is more dense than cork. Steel has a higher density because it contains more atoms packed closely together compared to cork.


Why is stainless steel denser than water?

Because the molecules of the substances that make up steel are packed more tightly that are water molecules.


Which is more dense steel or water?

Er, Does Steel (by itself) Float when placed in water? (for purposes of this discussion, lets omit masses of steel less than that required to break the water's surface tension, and formulations/constructions of steel purposefully designed to not break the surface tension, both of which are probably possible) No, ergo steel is more dense in its "usual" formulations & construction.


Does thinks sink if its less dence that water?

No, an object will float if it is less dense than water. If an object is less dense than water, it will displace an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float.
