ice float on water because it has " less density than water"

deepanshu81: do it have air betweenin

As it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. On the other hand, most substances are most dense in their solid (frozen) state than in their liquid state. Water is different because of hydrogen bonding. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. hope it helps you

nikhil400: Liquid H2O can hold a certain amount of air dissolved in it.
deepanshu81: do hydrogen bonding have space in between it
nikhil400:  substances are most dense in their solid (frozen) state than in their liquid state. Water is different because of hydrogen bonding.
nikhil400: Ice is less dense than waterbecause the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
nikhil400: m i ryt
deepanshu81: appropriate reason is that the hydrogen bonding have forms a cage like structure and attracts the air between it with makes it lighter than the water
nikhil400: yes u r also ryt
nikhil400: bt i m not wrong
deepanshu81: yes
nikhil400: mark it brain list please
