Density of Various States of Matter
The density of the material is the amount of substance that is packed inside the volume of the substance. The density of the material is generally lowest in its gaseous state, greater in the liquid state, and greatest in the solid state.
The density of various states of matter is discussed in the image below,
Except for the water as the density of the water is highest in the liquid state than in the solid state (ice).
Density
Density is defined as the measurement of the weight of the object when a fixed volume of it is taken. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its mass. It is the true measure of the heaviness of the material. This can be understood with the help of the following example,
“Which weighs heavier 1 kg of cotton or 1 kg of iron?” The obvious answer to this is iron is heavier than cotton so 1 kg of iron must be heavier than 1 kg of cotton but here, both of them weigh exactly the same (1 kg) but iron feels heavier because of the density as the density of Iron is heavier.
In this article, we have provided everything related to what is density, the formula for density, density of water, and how to calculate density.
