Answer:

Due to these properties Liquids remain as fluids by nature. Since they have spaces between them, their mass and volume comes to a smaller quantity compared to solids. Hence solids are more denser than liquids. Exception : Ice is a solid but it floats on water.

Liquids generally have lower density than solids because of the closely packed arrangement of atoms and molecules.

Explanation:

Liquids generally have lower density than solids. That is because of the closely packed arrangement of atoms and molecules, in a solid, which gives them a definite shape and mass, obviously higher than that of liquids.  For solids, the molecules and atoms are closely packed. Thus the intermolecular space, in a solid gets decreased, which eventually increases the force between the atoms, resulting the Intermolecular force, to be high. But for liquids, the molecules are loosely arranged, which results to the lower intermolecular forces. Thus the density eventually becomes lower than that of the solids.
