That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
Density= mass/volume
If the density is more than 1 (gram per cc), then a solid lump of it sinks in water. Less than 1, it floats.
The density of solid plutonium is 19,816 g/cm3.
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
The density of sodium is near 1: 0,968 g/cm3.
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.
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. :)

Osmium is the solid element that has the highest density. Opposite of osmium is hydrogen which has the lowest density.
Density anomaly refers to an item having a density that is abnormal when compared to the usual densities of similar items. An example would be water since it has a low density of 1.
The density of solid gold is physical property
According to Wikipedia:In the liquid phase:The density of liquid water is 1,000 kg/m3 at 1 atm and 4 °C.The density of liquid CO2 is 770 kg/m3 at 56 atm and 20 °C.In the solid phaseThe density of solid water is 917 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −10 °C.The density of solid CO2 is 1,562 kg/m3 at 1 atm and −78.5 °C.So, liquid water is more dense than liquid CO2; solid CO2 is more dense than solid water; and solid CO2 is more dense than liquid water - which is why dry ice chunks sink to the bottom of a bowl of water.
mass/volume=density
Any number of things. You need units! But the answer is most likely water, which has a density of 1 g/mL or 1 g/cm^3.
Any solid that is less dense than water will float in water. This information could be found in a density table. The density of water is 1 g / ml. One example of a solid that floats in water is ice, with a density of 0.92 g / ml.
