Question

State whether the following statement is True or False:
Oil is denser than water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

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