Solution

The correct option is B False
The density of different states increases in the order: gas < liquid < solid.

The particles in solid state are very closely packed and have high intermolecular forces of attraction. While this force of attraction between particles decreases in liquids and least in gases.
Hence the density of solids are higher than liquids.
