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

As it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. On the other hand, most substances are most dense in their solid (frozen) state than in their liquid state. Water is different because of hydrogen bonding. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top.

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

Density of ice is less than the density of water.The low density of ice can be attributed to the small pores it was which allows it to trap air.Hence ice floats on water.
