The order of increasing densities of Air, Exhaust from chimneys, Honey, Water, Chalk, Cotton and Iron is Air < Exhaust from chimneys < Cotton < Water < Honey < Chalk < Iron.
The above order is because air is mostly a mixture of comparatively light gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Therefore, it has the lowest density. Chalk is a porous material with less tightly packed particles than honey, although it has a higher density. Iron is a very compact solid with extremely closely packed particles, resulting in a far higher density than chalk.
