ICEBERGS and ICE CUBES float on Water. ... So, the density of Ice is less than that of LIQUID WATER. It is because of the BONDING between Hydrogen and Oxygen. There is air filled between these molecules which INCREASES the VOLUME and DECREASES its DENSITY (Weight).

One hydrogen atom lies in between each pair of oxygen atoms. So, each and every hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen atom and linked to another oxygen atom by a hydrogen bond. This arrangement leads to a packing with large open spaces and results in lower density of ice than of water. Hence, ice floats on water.  

Your said icebergs sink in water. No your assumption is wrong iceberges don't sink in water.
