There is no material simply called "silicate," so this question does not have an answer. There is a mineral called silica. There is a whole class of minerals called silicates as a group. There is the element silicon. Once you specify which specific material you need the density of, then you can get an answer.

Do silicate rocks have greater or lesser density than moon and earths density?

Less than. The moon rock density is greater in ferromagnesion and nickel content, with greater density, whereas silicate rocks contain largely quartz and feldspar minerals.


Why do silicates have low density?

Silicates have low density because their crystalline structure is characterized by large spaces between the particles. This results in a low packing density overall. Additionally, the presence of light elements such as silicon and oxygen in silicate compounds contributes to their low density.


How would the color and density of rock composed mostly of non-ferro magnesium silicate minerals differ from one made up mostly of ferro-magnesium silicate?

non-ferro magnesium silicate dominated rock would be lighter in color and less dense than ferro-magnesium silicate dominated rock. NOTE: The color of olive-green belong to the ferro-magnesium silicate dominated rock group.
