Solid silver is denser.
Remember in a solid the atoms are closely packed and in a regular order.
When it is a liquid the atoms are less closely packed an in an irregular order.
Since liquid atoms are less closely packed, the same number of atoms occupy a larger space/volume.
Since they occupy a larger volume for the same number then liquids arr less dense.
Density = mass/ volume.
Solid ; Using 1 gram (Silver) occupies say 0.25 cm^(3) of space
Liquid ; using 1 gram(silver) occupies say 0.255 cm^(3) of space.
Hence
Density (Solid) =- 1/ 0.25 = 4 g/cm^(3)
Density (Liquid) = 1 / 0.255 = 3.91,,, g/cm^(3)
These are fictitious figures , just given to demonstrate.
Also , remember when a mass gains energy it changes from solid to liquid and EXPANDS(Greater volume/space).
So a block of solid silver , when placed in liquid silver will sink, because it is more dense.

What else can I help you with?
If you place a piece of solid silver into a container with liquid silver would it float or sink and WHY?
The solid silver would sink in liquid silver. This is because the density of solid silver is greater than that of liquid silver. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the solid silver is more compact and has a higher mass per unit volume compared to the liquid silver, it will sink to the bottom of the container.
Is silver a metal or nonmetal or solid or liquid?
Silver is a metal and under normal circumstances, a solid.
Is melting silver a physical change?
Yes, because you are changing it from a solid to a liquid
What is niobium is it a solid liquid or gas?
Niobium is a solid. It is a silver-gray metal that is typically found in the solid state at room temperature.
Is silver a liquid at 100 degrees c?
No, silver is a solid at room temperature and has a melting point of 961.8°C. It does not turn into a liquid at 100°C.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Why is liquid silver less dense than solid silver?
The atoms in a solid are arranged in a more orderly structure than in a liquid, resulting in a denser solid. In liquid silver, the atoms have more freedom of movement and are not as closely packed together as in solid silver, leading to a lower density.
If you place a piece of solid silver into a container with liquid silver would it float or sink and WHY?
The solid silver would sink in liquid silver. This is because the density of solid silver is greater than that of liquid silver. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the solid silver is more compact and has a higher mass per unit volume compared to the liquid silver, it will sink to the bottom of the container.
Is a substance denser as a liquid then a solid?
No.
What is the state of silver solid or liquid?
Think about jewelry: have you ever seen a liquid necklace or bracelet? Silver is solid.
If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
What is more dense liquid xenon or solid xenon?
Solid xenon is more dense than liquid xenon. Solid xenon has a higher density because its particles are closely packed together in a solid state compared to the more spread out particles in its liquid state.
Is silver a liquid or a solid or a gas?
At normal temperature and pressure, silver (Ag) is a metallic solid.
Why diamond is denser than water?
A diamond is a solid, while water is a liquid.
Is silver a metal or nonmetal or solid or liquid?
Silver is a metal and under normal circumstances, a solid.
When the water densest as a liquid or solid?
Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
Is silver a liquid gas or soild?
At standard temperature and pressure, silver is a solid.
