Liquids generally have lower density than solids,but ice floats on water. Why?
Anonymous:
dear it's due to the structure of molecular of water
it forms different structure whn frozen
Ice is solid but its density is lower than that of water due to its network structure and forms a cage-like structure with a lot of vacant space.
So that's why ice floats on water
So that's why ice floats on water
hope it helps dear
sorry I already have answer
thank you
Yes it's really helpfull
ohhk
hope u got the right answer

Answer:
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.
