Question

Explain the reason why ice floats on water

Answer 1

bcoz density of water is higher than density of ice.........that's why I've floats on water...

Answer 2

hey mate!! here is your answer

Though ice is a solid, it has large number of empty spaces between its particles. These spaces are larger as compared to the spaces present between the particles of water, giving ice a cage like structure. Thus, due to the empty spaces the volume of ice is greater than same mass of water. Hence, the density (mass per unit volume) of ice is less than that of water. A substance with lower density than water floats on the surface of water. Therefore, ice floats on water.

hope that it may help you :-)
