Yes, there are many. For example, anything that floats on water is less dense than liquid water.
A number of solids are less dense than liquids. The most common example is ice. Ice (frozen water) is less dense than its liquid counterpart for some very specific reasons. Many other solids are less dense than liquids, as well. Using water as the liquid, you'll find that cork, wood (most kinds) and styrofoam will all float on it.
As the liquid becomes more dense, the range of items that will float on it increases. Mercury, for example, is a liquid metal at room temperature. Because it is so dense, many things will float on it. Lead is one example of something that will float on liquid mercury.
For a question about substances that are less dense in their solid form than those same substances in their liquid form, use the link below to the related question.
Solids are more dense than liquids. This is because of their atomic or molecular configuration. Atoms or molecules in solids are more closely arranged compared to atoms or molecules in liquids.
For most substances, the solid phase is more dense than the liquid and gas phases. The liquid phase is less dense than the solid phase but more dense than the gas phase, and the gas phase is less dense than either the solid or liquid phases. Water is an exception. Its solid phase (ice) is less dense than the liquid phase.
hmmm, water??? lol, joking!
Put the "something" into the liquid, and see if it will float.
No. It is more dense.
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.

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.
This is called anomalous expansion or the anomaly of water. It means that when water freezes, its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, which is why ice cubes float in water.
Liquid magma is less dense than solid rock because it is a molten mixture of rock, minerals, and gases. When magma rises to the Earth's surface and cools, it solidifies into igneous rock.
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.
solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.
