dear shivkant,

                       it depends on the atomic mass of the                          atoms of liquid.

                       if a molecule has a density of 4 atoms                          per unit area and another one has a                           density of 2 atoms per unit area .

                     and if atomic mass of 1st molecule''s                             atom is lets say 1/2amu and another                          one has atomic mass of 2 amu then                              mass per unit area of 2nd one is more                          so it is not obvious that 

  • the molecules of a dense liquid are heavier than those of a lighter liquid.
