Students will be able to explain that the density of a liquid has to do with how heavy it is for the sample size. Students will also be able to explain that if a liquid is more dense than water, it ...

The same mass of liquid will have slightly greater volume than the solid. As density equals \(\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\), the liquid will have slightly lower density. The density of solid ...

The difference is mostly due to the fact that air is a gas and the water is a liquid, because density depends a lot on the state of matter. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed ...
