Question

A liquid generally low density as compared to solid but you have must observe that ice floats on water. find out why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. In other words, ice takes up about 9% more space than water, so a liter of ice weighs less than a liter water. The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top.

Answer 2

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.
