Question

Compare the density of a solid and a liquid with a diagram.

Answer 1

1. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given amount of space (volume).
2. The number of particles per unit volume of a substance is the maximum in solids, hence, solids have more density than liquids and gases.
3. Solids have a definite shape and size, as the particles are very closely packed with no space in between them. Hence, the density of solids is the maximum.
4. Particles in a liquid have more space between them and there are fewer particles per unit volume. So, the density of liquids is less than that of solids.
