Cannot be squashed into less space?

Neutronium is quite difficult to compress, but Black Holes are even more compressive. In the laboratory, most solids fit the bill.


Why is it more difficult to change the shape of a solid or a liquid?

Solids are hard to touch because they have molecules tightly packed to each other and do not exist in the liquid state.they have a perfect shape and volume and have Wight


If substances of different densities were layered on top of each other the less dense will be on the top or bottom?

if they are all fluids than the less dense will be on the top and the most dense on the bottom but if there are solids than the solids will be in the order you put them in.


Which physical state of matter is the densest?

Solids are the most dense state of matter


Which of the four states of matter is the densest?

Solids are the most dense as their particles are most closely packed.


What is the most dense state of matter to the least dense including solids liquids gases and plasmas?

The order is: - solid (the densest) - liquid - gas - plasma


Do liquids have high or low density?

Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.


Are liquids dense?

Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.


What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?

The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.


Is gas inside a hot air balloon less dense than a penny?

Yes. By definition, most gases are less dense than most solids. i can't think of a counter example. Plus, the gas inside a hot air balloon is superheated to make it even less dense, as heating things makes them less dense


Sound travels fastest in?

Sound travels fastest in dense solids(steel, diamond, etc.). Since the particles of dense solids are very close to each other, the transfer of sound energy from one particle to another is much easier.


What has the highest density solids liquids or gases?

Of substances that are liquid at room temperature, mercury will be the most dense, with a specific gravity of 13.5, or thirteen and one half times heavier than water. Ether is probably the least dense common liquid with a specific gravity of .73, about 25% lighter than water.
