The SI unit for density is kgm-3. But the density of gases is low , so it is generally expressed in gdm-3 . On the other hand, solids and liquids have high density than gases, so their densities are usually expressed in gcm-3.
Other than this, Density = mass/volume : and this applies equally to each of the States of Matter.

Gas particles are farther apart and have weaker intermolecular forces compared to liquid particles, resulting in lower density for gas compared to liquid. Gas particles move freely and have high kinetic energy, leading to more space between particles and lower density overall. Liquid particles are closer together with stronger intermolecular forces, resulting in a higher density compared to gas.

Is the density of gas similar to that of a liquid?
No, the density of gas is much lower than that of a liquid. Gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them, resulting in lower density compared to liquids where particles are more closely packed together.
How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
Which states of matter has low density high density and quite high density?
Low density: Gas High density: Solid Quite high density: Liquid
Is the density of a liquid greater than the liquid of a gas?
Yes, the density of a liquid is generally greater than that of a gas because liquids have particles that are more closely packed together, whereas particles in gases are more spread out. This difference in particle arrangement accounts for the differences in density between liquids and gases.
Structure and properties of matter?
solid, liquid, and gases
Why is the density of a gas lower than the density of a liquid?
atoms in a gas are farther apart than atoms in a liquid
What liquid has the lightest density?
Hydrogen gas has the lightest density of any liquid.
Is the density of liquid the same as the density of gas?
No, the density of a liquid is typically much higher than the density of a gas. This is because the molecules in a liquid are more closely packed together compared to a gas where the molecules are more spread out.
What has a higher density liquid or gas?
Solids have a higher density.
How does gas the differ from liquid?
gas particles are far and liquid particles are not too much far
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.
How does the density change from solid to liquid to gas?
The density generally decreases as a substance transitions from solid to liquid to gas. In the solid state, particles are tightly packed resulting in higher density. When the substance melts into a liquid, the particles become less ordered and the density decreases. As the liquid is further heated to form a gas, the particles are further apart, leading to the lowest density.
Is the density of gas similar to that of a liquid?
No, the density of gas is much lower than that of a liquid. Gas particles are more spread out and have more space between them, resulting in lower density compared to liquids where particles are more closely packed together.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Gases are not liquid why?
Gas are not liquid because it has a density of 1/10 % or 0.1% that of liquid.
What happens to the density of water as it changes from liquid to a gas?
Gas is much less dense than liquid.
How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
