Question

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

Answer 1

In general, the volume of liquid is more than the volume of solid as the particles of liquids are more free to move thereby more volume. But in case of ice, density of water is maximum at 4

∘

C. The density of ice is less than that of water. That is why ice floats on water .

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

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.
