The particle of an ice (solid) are held together by very strong forces of attraction and they cannot move about freely. They have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.The particles of a water vapour (gas) are spread far apart from one another.According to the kinetic particle theory,it's particles have a lot of kinetic energy and are not held in fixed position and thus, they can move rapidly in any direction...
And so ,solids will have a higher density than gas

Which two gases are which you exhale more than inhale?
Carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Why exhaled air has more water vapour?
No. The exhaled air contents more water vapour. The exhaled air is almost saturated with water vapour.
What is special about water and density?
Density rho = mass / Volume. Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3 = 1,000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL at the temperatur of 3.98 degrees Celsius. Temperature in degrees Celsius and the density of water: 1 999,902 999,943 999,964 999,975 999,966 999,947 999,90 You see the highest number at 4 degrees Celsius.
Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.
Do infants have a higher percentage of body water than adults?
The percentage of water in a baby is around 78 to 84 percent. This is higher than in an adult body which has 57 to 60 percent.
Why do you think ice has a higher density than water vapour?
Because ice is solid and has a heavier weight that cause it to have higher density and as for water vapour, it is gaseous and has lower density due to not having any weight.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
An example of a density higher than 1?
Water has a density of 1 - therefore anything that sinks in water (e.g. iron with a density of 7.874) has a density higher than 1 and anything that floats in water has density less than 1.
Is it true that A ship is able to float on water because it has a higher density than the water?
No it has a higher density than water but the air in the ship helps.
Why is the density of ocean water greater than tap water?
because salt is higher density than water and dissolves in the water, increasing density
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
What will happen if the density of air become less than that of water vapour?
Clouds cannot swim as they do now
How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?
If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
What is the density of an egg and salt?
Salt water has a higher density than the egg.
Does Mercury have a higher density than water?
yes
Does lead have a higher density than water?
yes
