Question

liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids, but you must have observed that ice floats on water . how is that possible?​

Answer 1

Matter in Our Surroundings

Answer:

Usually solids are denser than liquids, but ice, being a solid, floats on water. Due to the cage like structure of ice, molecules aren't closely packed and there are vacant spaces left. As ice melts, the molecules come closer and the density increases. As ice being less denser, it floats on water.
