Question

ice is a solid object but can floats o water ?why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Density of Ice is less than water.

Explanation:

the molecules are bonded more closely to each other in a solid object, due to which they are hard and has more weight. Often when any fluid turns into a solid substance, its volume decreases and it becomes heavier. Ice floats on water because the density of ice is less than that of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

ice is a solid, still it floats on water, this is because it has a lower density as compared to water( due to anomalous behavior of water).

Scientifically the volume of water displaced by ice provides a greater upthrust which keeps it floating ( buoyant force).
