Water is also a liquid, so it should also have less density than that of a solid that is ice. Though ice is solid, it has a cage-like structure; hence, there are many empty spaces between its particles.
These spaces are larger than compared to the spaces present between the particles of water. Thus, for a given mass of water, the volume of ice is greater than that of water.
Hence, the density of ice is less than that of water. A substance with a lower density than water can float on water. Therefore, ice floats on water.
