Solution
The correct option is D Solids > Liquids > Gases Solids are typically denser because the solid molecules are more tightly packed together than in a liquid or a gas. Solids have a higher density. Liquids are more free-moving and the molecules do not hold on so tightly to each other, hence the lower density. Gases are completely free-moving and have a much lower density than the other two.
The decreasing order of densities for a given mass is Solid>liquid>gas.
