Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Particles are less closely packed in a liquid state of matter compared to solids, taking the shape of the container in which they are stored.

Water can exist in three different physical states. Water does exist in the form of ice or snow in the solid-state. Water exists as water vapour or steam, in the gaseous state and it exists in the form of water in its liquid state.

The density of ice is less than water. Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids but ice floats on water. When water freezes to form ice, some empty spaces are created. As a result, volume increases for the same mass of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

ice floats on water cause

Explanation:

its 9% less dense than liquid. when ice forms it takes 9% more than liquid did
