Question

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

Answer 1

$\huge\tt{ANSWER:}$

Most of the substances are denser when in their solid states. But in case of water, when it 'freezes into ice', it becomes less dense because of 'Hydrogen bonding'. The water that is heavy displaces the ice that is light in weight, so the ice floats on the top of the water.

Answer 2

ice floats on water because it's density is low than of water . so the force acting opposite to weight is more so 1/9 of ice floats on water
