The density of water in its solid state, which is ice, is lower than that of most other solid materials. This is why ice floats on water.

How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?

That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.

How is volume different in solid?

The volume is the ratio mass/density for all materials.


When a solid block of materials is cut in half what happens to the density?

The density does not change, as density is the amount of material in a given amount of space. But each piece has the same amount of space and material relative to each other.

What are the best materials for backing in cabinets?

The best materials for backing in cabinets are typically plywood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard) due to their strength and durability. These materials provide a solid base for attaching shelves, drawers, and other components within the cabinet.


What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?

Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)


Why do you encounter most other materials in their solid states?

Because they were made to be solid

How the density of a solid and a liquid compare?

Density is the amount of matter in a given volume. The particles in a solid state are tightly packed together, therefore a solid sate would have a greater density then a liquid, and gas. The particles in a liquid state are together, but are able to move and slide by one another. This density is not as great as a solid state. Particles in a gaseous state are spread very far apart, and moving a lot. A gas would not have a large density. The particle theory of matter affects both masse, volume, density, and viscosity.
