Question

Liquids have lower density than solids, but why does ice being a solid float on water?

Answer 1

Ice, though being a solid floats on water because it is less dense than water. 

Solids are in general denser than liquids. However, the case is different with water. When in liquid state, the molecules of H2O are not very strongly linked. they continue to flow easily which results in the liquid state.

However, when the temperature approaches 0 degrees, a change in orientation of water molecules occur. The H2O molecules align themselves in a honey-comb structure with six sides which occupies more space. This increase in space makes ice less dense than water and therefore ice floats over it.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Ice float because it is in the space present in atoms that's why I air goes inside in her ice that's why solid ice float and water in a water
