\nThe correct sequence of substances in decreasing order of density is Iron, Honey, Water, Air.
\n<\/section>\n
\nDensity is defined as mass per unit volume. Generally, solids are denser than liquids, and liquids are denser than gases. Among liquids, denser substances have more mass packed into the same volume.
\n<\/section>\n
\nTypical densities are: Iron (~7.87 g\/cm\u00b3), Honey (~1.42 g\/cm\u00b3), Water (~1.00 g\/cm\u00b3), Air (~0.0012 g\/cm\u00b3 at sea level and 15\u00b0C). This confirms the order: Iron > Honey > Water > Air.
