Question

Why do ice float on Water?please answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice's density is lesser than water so it floats on water.

Ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³ while water has a density of 2.17 g/cm³ so ice floats on water.

The water displaced by ice when it is dispersed in water, it displaces water lesser than its weight hence, it floats.

Answer 2

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.
