Question

Ice has lower density than water.Explain Giving Reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

Though ice is solid, it has a cage-like structure hence there are a large number of empty spaces between its particles. These spaces are larger as 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 lower density than water can float on water. Therefore, ice floats on water.
