Gases are less dense than solids and liquids because their molecules are far apart in comparison to solids and liquids. Density is mass/volume. The greater the mass/volume, the more dense the material is. Because the molecules of a gas are spread apart, they have the least mass/volume, and are therefore less dense.
No, the density of gas is much lower than that of a liquid. Gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them, resulting in lower density compared to liquids where particles are more closely packed together.
You are asking for comparatives. Each state can be any when compared to another state except the extremes. Liquid or gas either lower or higher depending on what you compare it to.
The SI unit for density is kgm-3. But the density of gases is low , so it is generally expressed in gdm-3 . On the other hand, solids and liquids have high density than gases, so their densities are usually expressed in gcm-3. Other than this, Density = mass/volume : and this applies equally to each of the States of Matter.
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
The density of a liquid determines its position in a column of liquid with different densities. A liquid with higher density will sink to the bottom, while a liquid with lower density will float on top. This is due to the concept of buoyancy, where denser liquids displace lighter ones, causing them to rise or sink accordingly.
atoms in a gas are farther apart than atoms in a liquid
A gas has a lower density than either a liquid or solid because its molecules are not as compressed as the other two states of matter. Gas has weaker intermolecular bonds than either a solid or liquid.

It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Gas has the least density among the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Gas particles are more spread out compared to solids and liquids, leading to lower density.
Yes, a liquid of higher density will displace a liquid of lower density when the two liquids are immiscible. This is because the liquid with the higher density will sink below the other liquid due to gravity, displacing it.
The liquid with a lower density.

In general, liquids have lower densities than solids. This is because particles in a liquid are less compactly arranged compared to those in a solid, leading to a lower density. However, there are exceptions, such as ice having a lower density than liquid water.
Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.
Hydrogen gas has the lightest density of any liquid.
