Answer:

Hyyy

Explanation:

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. Therefore it floats on water.

Ice is formed by the freezing of water. When water freezes to form ice, then a number of empty spaces are created in solid ice (which were not present in liquid water) giving it a cage-like structure. Due to the

presence of some empty spaces, the volume of ice becomes more than an equal Maas of water, because of its greater volume, the density (maas per volume) of ice decreases. And due to it's lower density than water, ice floats on water +even though it is a solid ).
