Question

8. Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. However, ice floats on water because:
(A) on cooling below 4°C, the water expands and at 0°C form ice.
(B) the density of ice at 0°C is less than the density of water.
(C) both (A) and (B)
(D) neither (A) nor (B)​

ANSWER

Though ice is a solid it has large amount of space between its molecules. These spaces are larger as compared to spaces in water molecules. Thus the volume of ice is greater than water. Hence the density of ice is less than of water. A substance with low density than water can float on it.
