Question

liquid generally have lower density as compared to solids but ice float on water why

Answer 1

bcz density of ice is more than water
so it floats



hope help

Answer 2

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. Thereby, since the ice is less dense than water, ice floats. Oil can sometimes float on water, but it can also sink. ... With most other substances, the density of the solid phase is higher than its liquid phase.

Hope this helps have a nice day
