Question

waters solid state is than its liquid state. more dense less dense more weight less weight

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When water freezes, its molecules arrange in a hexagonal lattice structure due to hydrogen bonding. This structure creates more open space between molecules compared to the liquid state. Density is mass per unit volume (\(d=\frac{m}{V}\)). With the same mass (\(m\)) but a larger volume (\(V\)) in the solid state (ice), the density (\(d\)) of ice is lower than that of liquid water. Weight is a force (\(F = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity). For the same amount of water (same \(m\)), weight in solid and liquid states (assuming same \(g\)) would be the same. So, we compare density.

Answer:

less dense
