Question

Explain why solids have greater densities than liquids and liquids have greater densities than gases

Answer 1

Dear student

The atoms or molecules in a solid have fixed positions, they don't move around like atoms or molecules in liquid. That's why liquids can flow, but solids don't. Solids are usually much more dense than liquids.

The molecules in liquids are closely packed as compared to gases hence gases are less dense as compared to liquids.
