Question

liquid generally have lower density as compared to solids . But you must have observed that ice floats on water .find out why ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because of its greater volume, the density (mass per unit volume) of ice decreases. And due to its lower density than water, ice floats on water (even though it is a solid). Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids but you must have observed that ice floats on water.

Answer 2

Ice is a solid but its density is lower than water due to its structure. The molecules in ice make a cage like structure with lot of vacant spaces, this makes ice float on water.
