Question

Chemistry :- Liquids generally have lover density as compared to solids. but you must have observed that ice floats on water. why?

Answer 1

Ice is less dense than water . It is because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to fush further apart which lowers the density.

Liquid generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have observed that ice floats on water. Why?

$\large\green{\underline{\underline{\mathscr{\red{\:\:\:\:\:Answer\:\:\:\:\:}}}}}$

Density of ice is less than the density of water.The low density of ice can be attributed to the small pores it was which allows it to trap air.Hence ice floats on water.
