Solids are more dense than both liquids and gases. This is because their molecules are packed much more tightly together and are held in place and unable to move freely. This means that per unit volume there are molecules in a sold than in a gas or liquid therefore making the solid more dense.

The person who answered before me forgot something, there are exceptions

No. It gets less dense


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.


How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?

If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.


How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?

Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.


How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?

Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.


Are most materials more or less dense in their solid state than in liquid?

Most materials are denser in their solid state than in their liquid state. This is because in the solid state, molecules are packed closely together in a fixed arrangement, while in the liquid state, they are more spread out and can move more freely.


How can you determine whether a solid substance is more dense or less dense than water?

see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.


Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?

No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
