Question

Oil is more dense than water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Explanation:

• Oil is lighter than water. It floats over water because its density is lower than that of water.
• The molecules that make up the oil are larger than those that that make up water, so they cannot pack as tightly together as the water molecules can.
• They take up more space per unit area and are less dense.

Hence, the given statement is false.
