Water is densest in its liquid state when at around 4 degrees Celsius. As it freezes into ice, its lattice structure actually expands slightly.

Liquid water is the most dense phase, ice (frozen water, if you prefer) is less dense, and gaseous water is the least dense of the three phases of water.

Water is unusual in that the liquid form is the most dense. Most substances go gas, then liquid, then solid in order from least to most dense. However, water goes gas, then solid, then liquid.

liquid. Ice is less dense by 10% - that's why it floats. Steam (water vapor) is obviously least dense.

hey bifran...
you were on a roll, until...
he asked, MORE dense,
your answer should've been liquid,solid, gas

Ice, of course, because ALL of the particles and molecules are condensed and bunched up together!

solid phase - ice

solid-ice. because it has more mass to weight ratio
