Question

give reason why does ice floats on water define density​

Answer 1

Explanation:

because ice density is less than that of water

Answer 2

Answer:

Density - is the amount of matter packed in an object.

It is explainable that an object which has a high density will sink in water while  the object with a low density will float.

Now, it is quite perplexing as to how ice floats on water.

This can be explained using the particle theory of matter which states that '' as heat is added to an object, its particles gain energy and move apart''.

Therefore, since ice is cold, its particles are closely packed making it dense. However, the heavy water,on which the ice floats, is more dense because its particles are more close together making it more dense.
