There are two reasons why gold is more dense than water. First, the individual atoms of gold are tremendously heavier than the two types of atoms (hydrogen and oxygen) which make up the water molecule. Secondly, the metallic bond that makes gold into a solid substance is stronger than the bonds that hold water together as a liquid, and a stronger bond holds atoms together more closely, and hence more densely.
What else can I help you with?
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
Bubbles rise in water because they a. are so tiny b. less dense than water c. more dense than water d. fluids?
less dense than the liquid they are in. Water is more dense than air, therefore water is below air. This explains why the oceans aren't in the sky.
Is a coin more dense than water?
The formula for density is mass divided by volume. If the mass of something increases, the volume will increase by the same degree, so no, a coin (or any object) will not differ in density because it has a larger mass.
Does pure gold float?
No, not in water. Gold is very dense. However, if you found a liquid that is more dense than gold, at a temperature that would not melt the gold, then the gold would indeed float in it.
What is more dense lead mercury gold water?
Between lead, mercury, gold, and water, mercury is more dense than all the rest. It is type of metal which is most commonly seen and used in its liquid format.
Is oil more dense than water?
no, oil is not more dense than water
How much more dense is water than water?
Water is 784 times more dense than water.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What has the highest specific gravity Styrofoam Water halite gold?
Gold has the highest specific gravity out of the options given, as it is a dense metal. Styrofoam has a low specific gravity because it is lightweight and mostly made up of air. Water has a specific gravity of 1, while halite (rock salt) is more dense than water but less dense than gold.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
Is the earth less dense or more dense than water?
Earth is more dense.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
