although ice have greater density than water, how can it float on water

HI FRIEND....
That makes the ice float in water. its because the chemical bonds between the H2O molecules are forced into being longer, expanding the water and forming a crystal (ice). When something at constant mass increases in volume, itsdensity decreases. Thus, ice is lessdense than water, causing it to float.
I HOPE I HELPED YOU...
PLEASE MARK IT AS BRAINLIST......

Though ice is solid, yet they float on water because they have numerous free spaces between them which increases their volume.....as volume is inversely proportional to density, Therefore their density decreases and THEY HAVE LESS DENSITY THAN WATER. Thus, ice floats in water.
