Question

Arrange the following in increasing order of 1- density iron nail, kerosene, oxygen gas

Answer 1

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

Mathematically,             d = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

We can also understand density in terms of degree of compactness. More closely the molecules are attached together more will be the compactness.

Thus, solids will have more density as compared to liquids and liquids will have more density as compared to gases.

Therefore, increasing order of given substances will be as follows.

                  oxygen gas < kerosene < iron nail
