Density isn't a state, it's a value.

How does the density change from solid to liquid to gas?

The density generally decreases as a substance transitions from solid to liquid to gas. In the solid state, particles are tightly packed resulting in higher density. When the substance melts into a liquid, the particles become less ordered and the density decreases. As the liquid is further heated to form a gas, the particles are further apart, leading to the lowest density.


If the phases of matter are arranged in order of increasing density then what would the arrangement be?

If phases of matter are arranged in order of increasing density, it would be gas, liquid, and then solid. This is because gases have the lowest density as particles are far apart, while solids have the highest density due to particles being tightly packed.


How would the density of carbon dioxide gas compare with the density of dry ice?

As a solid (dry ice) the density is around 1.56 kg/litre, or 1560 g/litre. The density at 0'C in its gas form is around 1.98 g/litre. So the density of CO2 in gas from is around 800 times less dense.


Of the 3 physical statesliquid solid gas of a compound which has the lowest density?

Gas typically has the lowest density among the three physical states of a compound. Gas particles are highly spread out and have more space between them compared to the condensed states of liquid and solid, leading to a lower density.


What is the highest density out of solid gas or liquid?

The highest density is typically found in solids, as their particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. Liquids have a lower density compared to solids as their particles are more spread out and can move around freely. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are spread far apart and move randomly.

What has a higher density solid or gas?

Solids have a higher density.


How do you know whether something will float or sink?

It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)

Why does gas have a lower density than a solid?

A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.


Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


What state of matter has the least density?

Gas has the least density among the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Gas particles are more spread out compared to solids and liquids, leading to lower density.


Does a gas planet have density?

Certainly - all matter has density. The density of a gas planet would probably be less than that of a more solid planet but it would still have a non-zero density.

Does liquid have density?

Yes. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas.


Which of the 3 phases of mater has more density?

The solid phase of matter typically has more density compared to the liquid and gas phases. This is because the molecules in a solid are densely packed together and have less freedom to move compared to the molecules in liquids and gases.
