The density of material depends upon the inter molecular force of attraction between the molecules... some solid molecules have more inter molecular force hence they are denser than other solids...

How is density of matter affected by the state of matter?

The density of matter can vary depending on the state of matter. In general, solids are more dense than liquids, and liquids are more dense than gases. This is because the particles are more closely packed together in solids compared to liquids and gases, leading to higher density.


What effects does cooling have on solids?

Cooling solids can cause them to contract and become more dense. This can lead to changes in physical properties such as hardness, brittleness, and thermal conductivity. In certain cases, cooling can also induce phase transitions, resulting in a change in the solid's crystal structure.


Is tea for dense than water?

Tea is water with some suspended solid particles. Depending on the strength of the tea, it may be very slightly more dense than water, because of the suspended solids in the tea. No, let's put another "very" in there; "very, VERY, slightly more dense than water".


Whene does density of a material get greater?

Materials become denser as they get colder, unless, like ice, some other molecular force makes them less dense. Solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. The colder a solid is, the more dense it becomes because each molecule's energy, which helps it repel the others, is less.


Why will some things float and other things sink?

Whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density and the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink. Objects like wood and ice float because they are less dense than water, while objects like metal sink because they are more dense.

Are solids Less dense than liquids?

Not necessarily. The density of a substance depends on its mass and volume, so it can vary for both solids and liquids. In general, solids are denser than liquids because the particles in solids are typically more closely packed together.


Which is the best conductor of sound a gas a liquid or a solid?

Solids and liquids are better conductors. You can't say which of the two because some solids are more dense than some liquids and vice versa.

If something is more dense is it also more heavier or vice versa and why?

the more dense some thing is the heavyer the object is.

Why some object float and other sinck in the water?

It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.


Does Greece have a sparse population or a dense population?

Depends on what region of Greece you are in. If you are in Athens, Thessaloniki, or some of the other more populated cities it becomes pretty dense. However rural Greece on the other hand is sparsely populated.


What is more dense wood or water?

It depends on the kind of wood. Water is more dense than most wood, but there are some kinds of wood (typically called ironwood) that are more dense than water.
