When a solid is melted it keeps its mass. It's the VOLUME that is slightly different. The density of most solids decreases slightly as temperature increases because solids expand when heated. As the temperature of the Solid Silver increases the volume increases slightly, even before the silver melts. This is due to the increased vibration of the silver atoms.
I LIKE EGGS!!! XD
What else can I help you with?
Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Yes, a solid can be more dense than a liquid. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so a solid with a higher mass per unit volume than a liquid will be more dense. An example is comparing ice (solid) to water (liquid), where ice is more dense than liquid water.
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 because solid silver is denser than liquid silver. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and in this case, the solid form of silver has a higher density than its liquid form.
What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?
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. =
Why is solid iron more dense then liquid iron?
Iron in solid form is more dense because the particles are rigid and connected in a structured shape. Iron as a liquid is less dense because the particles are not rigid/not connected and flow.
Will O2 solid float in O2 liquid?
No, solid O2 will not float on liquid O2 at all. There are several different phases of solid oxygen, depending on the conditions under which it is formed. But all of them are more dense than the liquid form, even near its freezing point (where it is most dense). None will come close to floating. Liquid oxygen has a density of about 1.141 grams/ml or so, and the solid forms have densities in the area of 1.4 grams/ml or so. Very few substances have a solid phase that floats on its liquid phase. Water is almost miraculous in this physical phenomenon. If ice did not float on water, earth's oceans would freeze solid within a few thousand years (or less).
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.
Can a solid be more dense than a liquid?
Yes, a solid can be more dense than a liquid. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so a solid with a higher mass per unit volume than a liquid will be more dense. An example is comparing ice (solid) to water (liquid), where ice is more dense than liquid water.

Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?
Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

What is more dense a gram of gold or a kilogram of silver?
The more dense its one kilogram of silver and the more better in durability and color it's solid white gold!
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.
What happens when you put a less dense soild and a more dense liquid together?
solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.

Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
How do water's relative densities an a solid a liquid deffer from that most other substances?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. The solid state of other substances is more dense than the liquid state and will sink in the liquid.
Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?
Liquid magma is more dense than the solid material around it.
Are most materials more or less dense in their solid state than in liquid?
More dense. As a solid is formed the particles vibrate less and group closer together. One of the only exceptions to this is water. When water freezes and becomes a solid it becomes less dense which is why ice will float in your drink.
