some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
Basically, it concerns the particulate nature of matter. Solid/liquid has more molecules per unit of volume than gas and hence the mass of the gas is less than that of a solid/liquid when their volumes are the same. With reference to the equation D=M/V, the density of the gas is less dense than solid/liquid. Hope this helps. :)
The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.
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.
No, not all solids necessarily have less volume than the same mass of liquid. The relationship between volume and mass depends on the density of the substance. Some solids may be more dense than liquids, resulting in a smaller volume for the same mass.
Gases are less dense than solids.
Gas is not dense, solids should be dense, liquids are dense, but not as much as solids.
In general, solids are more dense than liquids which are more dense than gases.
Solids are typically dense, meaning they have a high mass per unit volume. They are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases due to the strong intermolecular forces holding their particles in place.
Solids are usually more dense because solids have a smaller volume than liquids or gases, so the same amount of mass is in a smaller volume, making the density greater.
Solids are more dense than liquids. This is because of their atomic or molecular configuration. Atoms or molecules in solids are more closely arranged compared to atoms or molecules in liquids.

Solids are less changed in volume by pressure than fluids (liquids or gasses or plasmas) because the atoms or molecules in solids are more closely bound by the chemical bonds that form them. JCF
See if the solid is less dense than the liquid, like a cork floating on water or a log of wood floating on the water. The buoyant force acts on the cork or the wood and overcomes the force exerted due to acceleration due to gravity because of which these things float.
Yes, it is true.
Solids and liquids are better conductors. You can't say which of the two because some solids are more dense than some liquids and vice versa.
