Basically, the heat causes the molecules to move (agitate) from the solid or liquid state.

The molecules take up a different arrangement on heating usually, but not always, a less compact form.

Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?

The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.

Do liquids have high or low density?

It depends on the liquid. Some liquids, like water, have relatively high density compared to other liquids like oil or alcohol. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained within a specific volume, so liquids with higher density have more mass packed into a given volume.


Are liquids dense?

Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.


How do you arrange substances in increasing order if you know their density and which substance sinks or floats in various liquids?

Arrange the substances based on their density from lowest to highest. The substance with the lowest density will float on top of liquids with higher densities, while the substance with the highest density will sink to the bottom. Therefore, the substance that floats in the most liquids should be placed at the top of the list, and the substance that sinks in the most liquids should be at the bottom.


What is the difference in density for all 3 states of matter?

The density of solids is generally higher compared to liquids and gases because the particles in solids are more closely packed together. Liquids have a higher density than gases due to their closer particle arrangement, but lower density than solids. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are the most spread out and have the most kinetic energy.


What happens to the density of most substances as they go from a gas to a liquid to a solid?

It increases.Added:Density of gases is much smaller than of liquids (up to 100 times or even more), and almost all of these liquids are in turn less dense than solids (water to ice is one of the exceptions).


How does the density of water compare to the densities of a liquid?

The density of water is close to the average density of most common liquids. However, the density of water (1 g/cm^3) is slightly lower than the average density of liquids, which can vary from 0.7 g/cm^3 to 2.2 g/cm^3 depending on the substance.


Does liquid have medium density?

Yes, liquids have a relatively high density compared to gases but lower density compared to solids. The density of a liquid depends on its mass and volume, with most liquids exhibiting moderate density values typically between the densities of gases and solids.


What is a density tower?

A density tower is a column of different liquids which are not capable to get mixed up with each other. Since these liquids not capable to get mixed up they form different layers in the liquid column according to their densities.or search the pics on google and they will show u how it looks like from M.B


Does air have a very low density?

Compared to liquids and solids, yes a very low density.
