It depends.  Wood floats on water, as does ice.  Rocks sink.

liquids and gases only.\nparticles must be able to move around to form convection currents and solid particles are not free to move about.

Two separate questions.  Liquid mercury, for example, contains mercury atoms that are not bonded to each other and are therefore monatomic.  Most metals are also monatomic in solid and liquid state, because heating them will cause them to separate (therefore they have a physical and not a chemical bond).  However, "liquid" and "solid" refer to the interactions between atoms, so you cannot talk about the "form" of a single atom because without other atoms to interact with, there is no meaning to the "liquid" or "solid" terms.

A solid that is formed by a chemical reaction.

Depends on temperature and specific brass alloy.  Above 940 deg C, brass is a liquid.  Below that temperature, most brass alloys are solid.

Density is a function of two properties of matter- mass and volume.  So you're looking for a material that packs a lot of mass into a small space.  Probably the first hurdle the material has to clear is that it has to pe denser than itself in liquid form.  This is true of most materials that can legitimately have both a solid and liquid form, as the particles "pack in" closer together when they solidify and "spread out" as they liquify.  However, there are exceptions, like water, where the solid form is less dense than the liquid form (which is why ice floats).\n\nGenerally, as you move further up the periodic table into higher atomic numbers, elements get more dense (though exceptions certainly exist).  If you go very far up into the periodic table into say the Actinides (Uranium for example) you get into solids (largely unstable and radioactive, but solids nonetheless) that are extremely dense.  In theory however, at a high enough temperature you could possibly go further up the periodic table, heat the material to its melting point, and create a liquid that could potentially be more dense.

The solid phase.  Water is an exception.\nAlso some materials has more than one solid phase, such as carbon which has different structures and therefore different densities for graphic as opposed to diamond.

It is sometimes said that glass in very old churches is thicker at the bottom than at the top because glass is a liquid, and so over several centuries it has flowed towards the bottom.  This is not true.  In Mediaeval times panes of glass were often made by the Crown glass process.  A lump of molten glass was rolled, blown, expanded, flattened and finally spun into a disc before being cut into panes.  The sheets were thicker towards the edge of the disc and were usually installed with the heavier side at the bottom.  Other techniques of forming glass panes have been used but it is only the relatively recent float glass processes which have produced good quality flat sheets of glass.\n\nTo answer the question "Is glass liquid or solid?" we have to understand its thermodynamic and material properties.\n\nThermodynamics of glass\n\nThere is still much about the molecular physics and thermodynamics of glass that is not well understood, but we can give a general account of what is thought to be the case.\n\nMany solids have a crystalline structure on microscopic scales.  The molecules are arranged in a regular lattice.  As the solid is heated the molecules vibrate about their position in the lattice until, at the melting point, the crystal breaks down and the molecules start to flow.  There is a sharp distinction between the solid and the liquid state, that is separated by a first order phase transition, i.e. a discontinuous change in the properties of the material such as density.  Freezing is marked by a release of heat known as the heat of fusion. \n...\nConclusion\n\nThere is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid or liquid?".  In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter which is neither liquid nor solid.  The difference is semantic.  In terms of its material properties we can do little better.  There is no clear definition of the distinction between solids and highly viscous liquids.  All such phases or states of matter are idealisations of real material properties.  Nevertheless, from a more common sense point of view, glass should be considered a solid since it is rigid according to every day experience.  The use of the term "supercooled liquid" to describe glass still persists, but is considered by many to be an unfortunate misnomer that should be avoided.  In any case, claims that glass panes in old windows have deformed due to glass flow have never been substantiated.  Examples of Roman glassware and calculations based on measurements of glass visco-properties indicate that these claims cannot be true.  The observed features are more easily explained as a result of the imperfect methods used to make glass window panes before the float glass process was invented.

It's a colloid in the form of gas in a solid.

Since solids do not flow, then no for most.  Although, not all solids are the same.  Looking at amorpheous solids such as glass and newer metals that were supercooled as a liquid.  Glass has an extremely high viscocity because it is a liquid that is flowing really slowly.  If you look at the case of the cathedrals built in the old times, glass is thicker as it is closer to the ground.

Matter can exist in either a liquid, solid, or gaseous state.  \nA) Iron nail is a solid\nB) Gasoline is a liquid unless you are speaking of the fumes that can be seen or smelled and then it is a gaseous state.

For most substances, the solid form is denser than the liquid form.  Water is special in that the solid (ice) is less dense than liquid water due to the irregular shape of the crystal, due to the bent shape of the molecule.  THis makes it so that the ice floats on top of the lake, rather than sinking to the bottom.  In this way, the ice actually serve to insulate the lake and prevent the lake from freezing entirely, making the flora and fauna beneath able to survive the winter.

1. MATTER - Anything that has Mass and takes up Space.\n\n2. MASS - The measurement of the amount of Matter in an object.  We use a Balance to determine Mass.\n\n3. Matter is Classified (divided) into FOUR STATES:\n\n    a. SOLID - Anything that has BOTH A DEFINITE VOLUME and a DEFINITE SHAPE.  A rock is a solid, solid matter can be picked up and carried around without having to place it in a special container.\n\n    b. LIQUID - Anything that has DEFINITE VOLUME but NO DEFINITE SHAPE.  A key property of a liquid is that they FLOW and can be POURED.\n\n    c. GAS - Has NO DEFINITE VOLUME and NO DEFINITE SHAPE.  A gas ALWAYS TAKES BOTH THE VOLUME AND THE SHAPE OF ANY CONTAINER INTO WHICH IT IS PLACED.  If a gas is NOT in a container, it will spread out as far as it can.\n\n    d. PLASMA - Has NO DEFINITE VOLUME OR SHAPE AND IS COMPOSED OF ELECTRICAL CHARGED PARTICLES.

Density= Mass/Volume.  When water freezes, its volume increases. This is why a frozen bottle of water expands to the point of bursting. By the formula, if volume increases and Mass stays the same, then the value of density decreases.  Thus, this is why ice floats and is less dense than water.  When the ice melts, the reverse happens in that its volume decreases and again by the formula, density will increase.   Tahdaaaa!!

Depends on what the "mass" is (its density)!  If the mass is more dense than water, then the mass is heavier - if the mass is less dense than water, then the mass is lighter than water.  Ice is the solid form of water and it is less dense, therefore it floats.

Solid. Most elements at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure are solids. Some of the non-metals are gases, but only Mercury and Bromine are liquids at STP.\n\nEDIT: Gloo-gal, why answer if you don't know or don't care?
