I touched up on this a while back, and I bellieve it's that the atoms in a solid are moving less therefore are causing them to be compacted, so more density.
Solids
Solids have a higher density.
Solids have a higher density.
no
Steel has the greatest density of the three.
The speed of sound is greatest in solids, as the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations faster. In general, the speed of sound increases with an increase in density and elasticity of the medium.
Solids tend to have a higher density because the molecules are arranged closer together where as in gases the molecules are further apart. Since density is Mass/Volume, and solids have more mass per volume than gases it is more dense
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
because of density
a low density solid
Density is the characteristic used in the identification of solids that involves measuring mass and volume. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, providing a unique value that can help identify different types of solids.
The density of a substance is its mass divided by its volume. To find the density, you would need to know the specific substance. The unit of density is typically expressed in g/ml for solids and liquids, or g/cm3 for solids.
