Liquid silver occupies greater volume than in its solid form. Silver in liquid form is less dense because atoms are vibrating and sliding past one another.

Is an ice cube more dense or less dense than liquid water?

Less dense. For most substances, the solid form is more dense than the liquid form; water is a notable exception.Less dense.

If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?

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.


What type of solid is less dense than its liquid form?

Water is a clear example of a type of solid (ice) that is less dense than its liquid form. This is due to the unique arrangement of water molecules in its solid state, which causes them to take up more space compared to its liquid state.


What substances are less dense when in a solid state than they are in a liquid state?

Oh, dude, you're talking about water! Yeah, water is like the rebel of the chemistry world. Most substances get all cozy and closer together when they freeze, but not water. It's like, "Nah, I'm gonna spread out and be less dense as ice." So yeah, water is that cool kid who breaks all the rules in the solid vs. liquid density game.


What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?

The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.

Will a silver cube float in liquid silver?

Only if it is less dense than the liquid silver, yes. However if both densities of the silver cube and the liquid silver are equal, or the same as each other. Then the silver cube will stay where ever you leave it in the liquid silver.


What is an example of a solid that Is less dense than a liquid?

Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.

What is denser liquid silver or solid silver?

Solid silver is denser. Remember in a solid the atoms are closely packed and in a regular order. When it is a liquid the atoms are less closely packed an in an irregular order. Since liquid atoms are less closely packed, the same number of atoms occupy a larger space/volume. Since they occupy a larger volume for the same number then liquids arr less dense. Density = mass/ volume. Solid ; Using 1 gram (Silver) occupies say 0.25 cm^(3) of space Liquid ; using 1 gram(silver) occupies say 0.255 cm^(3) of space. Hence Density (Solid) =- 1/ 0.25 = 4 g/cm^(3) Density (Liquid) = 1 / 0.255 = 3.91,,, g/cm^(3) These are fictitious figures , just given to demonstrate. Also , remember when a mass gains energy it changes from solid to liquid and EXPANDS(Greater volume/space). So a block of solid silver , when placed in liquid silver will sink, because it is more dense. =

Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?

No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.


What happens when you put a less dense soild and a more dense liquid together?

solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.


Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?

Liquid magma is less dense than solid rock because it is a molten mixture of rock, minerals, and gases. When magma rises to the Earth's surface and cools, it solidifies into igneous rock.
