Question

Do solids weigh more than liquids? WHy? Explain please:)?

Answer 1

For a given amount of material, solids do not weigh more than liquids. They weigh the same. If I were to freeze 1 pound of water, I would get 1 pound of ice. No more, no less. This is because freezing (or melting, boiling, ect) does not add or remove any matter.

Answer 2

You are confusing weight with density. The density of solids is usually higher than the density of the same material in liquid form. This is because the atoms are closer together as solid than they are as liquid. This is not always the case. Solid H2O is less dense than liquid H2O so ice floats in water. The same is true of the elements Si and Bi (and maybe a few others).

Answer 3

a # is a #.
