Question

A steel spoon has a higher density than water because:

• A. It is hard
• B. It has empty space
• C. Steel floats on water
• D. Its particles are more closely packed than water

Answer 1

The correct option is D Its particles are more closely packed than water

Objects having loosely packed particles have low density and objects having closely packed particles have high density.
So, a steel spoon has a higher density than water because its particles are more closely packed than that of water. Due to this reason, a steel spoon sinks in water.
