Solid gold is denser than liquid gold. Do you think the atoms in liquid gold are as closely spaced as are the atoms in solid gold? Explain your answer.

No because energy was added and the atoms separate with makes liquid gold less dense than solid gold

The right answer to this question is: No

Explanation:

Ice works at the same way as this, so let's think on it as an example. Ice is water, but a different water, water in - 1 or less Celsius degrees, and in this way, if we check the molecules on an electrical microscope we can be sure that the molecules will be very close to one another.

After that, we'll level up the temperature until the water is liquid, almost 10 degrees Celsius, and looking at the microscope again, we can check that the water molecules are more separated than before. Gold works at the same way as the water does, and this is why the answer to this question is no.
