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

Answer:

But you must have observed that ice floats on water. Because of its greater volume, the density (mass per unit volume) of ice decreases. ... And due to its lower density than water, ice floats on water (even though it is a solid).

Answer 2

Ice is a solid but its density is lower than water due to its structure. The molecules in ice make a cage like structure with lot of vacant spaces, this makes ice float on water.
