What is less dense glass or water?
Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense. Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.

Is glass is to brittle as frail is to weak?
Yes, Glass is softer than diamond. Diamond is the hardest known substance! Diamond is number 10 on the Mohs scale, and is 40 times harder than Corundum, which is number 9 on the Moh's scale (and the next hardest natural substance). It also has the most dense atomical configuration of any minerals.
How is glass different than a diamond?
Glass can bracke
Is glass more dense than plastic?
I believe so. If you had glass pieces and plastic pieces, and you threw them all in water, the plastic would float while the glas would sink. I hope this helped. ~;]]
