Answer:

This is because ice has a lower density than water.

Explanation:

Although solids are generally denser than liquids, ice is less dense than water. Ice’s lower density is due to the way hydrogen bonds are oriented as water freezes: the water molecules are pushed farther apart compared to liquid water. With most other liquids, solidification when the temperature drops includes the lowering of kinetic energy between molecules, allowing them to pack even more tightly than in liquid form and giving the solid a greater density than the liquid. Because the molecules are being pushed further away, the density is lowered. this is why ice can float on water.
