The units are the same, whether it is for a solid or for a liquid. Since density is defined as mass divided by volume, usually some units of mass divided by volume is used. For example, the SI unit would be kilograms / cubic meter, though it is fairly common to use kilograms / liter instead, or the equivalent grams / cubic centimeter.

How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
What would be the units of density for a solid?
Density is density. Doesn't matter whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas. (any unit of mass) divided by (any unit of volume) is a unit of density. Popular units for density are "gram per cubic centimeter", "kilogram per liter", and "poundmass per cubic foot". My personal favorite is the "slug per hogshead".
Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
Does solid argon or liquid argon have a greater density?
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
How is density of matter affected by the state of matter?
Density: Solid > Liquid > Gas most of the times However, in some cases like water: Liquid > Solid > Gas
Is density of liquid have lower density of solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Coal is a solid with a very low density. Mercury is a liquid with a very high density.
Is density a solid or liquid?
Density is a number, with the units of mass per volume, it is not a solid nor liquid though.It describes a physical characteristic of a substance, and it can becorrectly and appropriately applied to solids, liquids, and/or gases.
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
Is a solid and a liquid density?
no because solid is hard not a liquid
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
What units do we use for length volume and mass?
The units for the volume if you are measuring any liquid or solid is metre^3/cm^3 as density = mass/volume. The units for mass is grams

Solid or liquid argon have greater density?
Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
What is the density of a liquid if 250 ml of liquid has a mass of 48.2?
Density = Mass/Volume = 48.2 units/250 = 0.1928 units per ml or 192.8 units per litre.
Does liquid have density?
Yes. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than in a gas.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
