Question

Liquids generally have a lower density than solids , but we have observed ice floating on water . Why so ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids but ice floats on water... These spaces are larger as compared to spaces in water molecules. Thus the volume of ice is greater than water. Hence the density of ice is less than of water

Answer 2

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

$\large\green{\underline{\underline{\mathscr{\red{\:\:\:\:\:Answer\:\:\:\:\:}}}}}$

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.
