Question

Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But why does ice then float on water?

Answer 1

Becoz ice has a cage like structure in which there is a lot of space which helps the ice to float on water as it makes it less denser than the water ......

Answer 2

Ice is actually less denser than water, it's bcoz when temperature decreases the hydrogen-oxygen bond (H2O) in water spreads apart and it forms a rigid honeycomb structure which takes more space, so making it less denser..
