Ice floats on water because it has many air spaces between which makes it lighter and lower in density as compared to water....

Well, ice is the frozen form of water.
Water has a peculiar property of anomalous expansion, which means that the volume of water increases instead of decreasing when cooling down from 4°C to 0°C.
The Volume increases when it freezes, and since V α 1/D, the density of ice decreases and becomes less than water.
This is why ice floats on water.
