here is the answer with full explanation|
Ice is less dense than water because in solid crystalline state,the orientation of hydrogen bonding is such that it pushes other molecules far apart.
When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
Hope this helps you
