Does a gas have a lower density than a liquid?
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. :)
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.
What happens to the density of water as it changes from liquid to a gas?
Gas is much less dense than liquid.
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.
If you have the lightest liquid and Heaviest gas can you make the liquid float?
no, the lightest liquid has a lot more density than the heaviest gas.
Is the density of a liquid greater than the liquid of a gas?
refrase your question, please, especially concerning........liquid greater than the liquid........because the molecules in the liquid are packed closer together than in the gas
Is displacement of liquid by liquid easier than by gas?
Yes, Liquid -Liquid displacement is easier than displacement with gas. the liquids cannot be compressible, but gas can. the volume of gas required for displacement is lower than volume of liquid.
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.
Would a rare liquid float above a dense gas?
Yes, only if the density of the liquid is lesser than the gas
