A liquid can be heavier than a solid due to differences in density and packing of molecules. In some cases, liquids have a higher density than solids of the same material, causing them to be heavier. Additionally, the ability of molecules in a liquid to move around freely and take up more space can contribute to its weight.
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
Mercury is a liquid that is less viscous but heavier than water. Mercury is a dense liquid metal at room temperature, making it heavier than water, which is less viscous than water due to its lower viscosity.
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Solid xenon is more dense than liquid xenon. Solid xenon has a higher density because its particles are closely packed together in a solid state compared to the more spread out particles in its liquid state.
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
One example of a liquid heavier than syrup is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is over 13 times heavier than water and significantly heavier than syrup due to its high density.
Frozen water, ice, is less dense than the water from which it is formed. Which is a GOOD idea, otherwise if it were heavier, it would sink, and the fish would get stuck! (As my old teacher put it.)
Heavier than What?
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.

That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
the buoyant force of the liquid on the solid is more than the buoyant force of the air on the solid.
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
Generally, a solid is denser and heavier than the same substance in a liquid state due to the arrangement of molecules being more compact in solids. However, the mass remains the same regardless of the state of matter, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
Mostly liquid, accounting for water. Other than that, solid.
