HEYA !!
HERE'S THE ANSWER ⏬
---------—----------------------------------
Yeah !!...Your concept is correct.
» LIQUIDS generally have lower density than solids . Bnt we also know that , there are exceptions in all cases.
» Similarly , ice has less density as compared to water due to its formation and property that is why it floats on water .
» The structure of ice consist of many holes in it which makes it filled with gases and further makes it less denser than water .
ICE , when dipped inside the water , then these holes doesn't allow it to sink . It further comes to tge surface of the water making it less denser that the water

HOPE IT HELPS YOU✌!!

Hey @User
Its a good question, me too have wondered about it when I was a kid like you
Pls refer the given attachment for the structure of ice
( so unique structure, it is na?)
Ice is the crystalline form of water
Ice has a highly ordered Three dimensional hydrogen bonded structure in which each oxygen atom is covalent bonded to two hydrogen atom and hydrogen bonding to another hydrogen atom
( you can see in figure, green balls represent Oxygen and yellow balls reresent Hydrogen )
hydrogen bonding give ice as an open cage like structure with holes
these holes can hold some other molecules interstially
hence, density of ice is less than water and it floats on water surface
if in simple sense, you can keep in mind that
just bacause ice has an open cage like structure where having large number of holes, its density decreases and floats in water
